RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02303 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Middlebury, PA to 
Troy, AL. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He initially enlisted from Middlebury, PA, but he had a break in 
service from 1995 to 1997 and was commissioned in Troy, AL in 
1997. Therefore, his HOR should be Troy, AL. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data System 
(MilPDS) indicates the applicant enlisted in the Air Force at 
Middlebury, PA on 3 Mar 92 and was discharged to attend Reserve 
Officer Training School (ROTC) on 25 Aug 95. He began ROTC on 
26 Aug 95, was commissioned on 30 Jun 97, and re-entered active 
duty on 1 July 1997. On 9 Aug 01, he was released from active 
duty in the grade of captain (O-3) at the completion of his 
required active service. 

 

HOR is defined as the place recorded as the home of the 
individual at the time they enlisted, were commissioned, or 
initially ordered to active duty. It is recorded in the 
military personnel record to determine transportation 
entitlements upon separation. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR) which is attached at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ AFPC/JA opines on the term “break in service” as it relates 
to HOR. Per the Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), when a 
member is reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted the HOR remains 
the place recorded as the individual’s HOR when initially 
commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into the 
tour of active duty, unless there is a break in service of more 
than one full day. A “break in service,” for HOR purposes, must 
be into civilian status, and not just off of active duty. 
Therefore, recall to a new tour of active service—even if it 
follows a break of more than one day—will not qualify without 
complete severance from the service. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/JA evaluation, with attachment, is 
at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSIP recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. The HOR is permanently affixed 
throughout a member’s military service and may only be changed 
if the member has a complete break in service of greater than 
one day. Transition from active duty to attend AFROTC does not 
constitute a complete break in service, and the transition 
between active duty and AFROTC enrollment was not greater than 
one day. Thus, the applicant has not had a complete break in 
service of greater than one day since he initially enlisted on 
3 Mar 92. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIP evaluation is at Exhibit D. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 18 Nov 11 for review and comment within 30 days. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit E). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took 


notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility (OPRs) and adopt their rationale as the basis of 
our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error 
or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the 
contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable 
action on this application. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.

As of this date, this office has received no response (Exhibit Q). The MRB Legal Advisor states that according to AF/JAA, if an officer is appointed in another competitive category, both the time spent as an enrolled student at the USUHS and time after disenrollment would count toward credit for promotion.
