RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02882 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His home of record at time of entry, Block 7a, on his DD Form 
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be 
changed from Brooklyn, New York to Wichita Falls, Texas. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He entered the service in Texas. His first duty assignment was 
Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. He would like his DD Form 214 
to reflect Texas as his entry point into active service. Not 
correcting his service entry point will have financial 
consequences when using his education benefits. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214 and other supporting documentation. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 28 August 1980. 
The applicant’s Statement of History reflects his permanent 
address as Brooklyn, New York. It also reflects his mailing 
address as Syracuse, New York. 

 

The applicant retired in the grade of lieutenant colonel on 
31 January 2003, after serving 22 years 5 months and 3 days of 
active duty service. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIP recommends denial. The applicant is under the 
impression that the place of entry into the Air Force is linked 
to his first training assignment. He is a graduate of the Air 


Force Reserve Officer Training Corps program at Syracuse 
University in New York. He was physically living in Brooklyn, 
New York when he entered extended active duty. There are no 
records affiliating the applicant to Texas prior to joining the 
military. 

 

The complete DPSIP evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 23 September 2011, for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received 
no response. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

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

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. The 
applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, he has provided 
no evidence which would lead us to believe the home of record or 
his place of entry currently reflected in his records was 
incorrectly recorded at the time he initially came on active 
duty. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we 
find no basis to favorably consider this application. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

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