RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04350
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed from New Jersey to
Texas.
2. Her Place of Enlistment be changed from Pennsylvania to
Texas.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She has always maintained Texas as her HOR. The fact that it is
not listed on her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty, is preventing education
opportunities for her family.
She entered the military in Dallas, Texas and flew to San
Antonio, Texas for Basic Military Training School.
In support of her request the applicant provides a personal
statement and copies of her DD Form 214 and Birth Certificate.
Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant contracted her initial enlistment in the Regular
Air Force on 3 Feb 1984. DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment
Document, reflects Wrightstown, New Jersey as her HOR and
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as her Place of Enlistment.
Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR) Volume I, Appendix A,
states in part that a Home of Record (HOR) is the place recorded
as the individuals home when commissioned, appointed, enlisted,
inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty. Any correction
must be fully justified and the home, as corrected, must be the
members actual home upon entering the Service, and not a
different place selected for the member's convenience. In
accordance with AFI 36-2608, Military Personnel Records System,
Table A2.1, Item 5, a member's initial DD Form 4 is the source
document for HOR and Place of Enlistment.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ DPSIPE recommends denial. DPSIPE states the member's initial
DD Form 4 reflects Wrightstown, New Jersey as the city/state in
which she lived prior to entering the Air Force and has been
consistently listed throughout her military records as her HOR.
In addition, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Military Entrance
Processing Station is reflected as the applicants Place of
Enlistment.
The complete DPSIPE evaluations, with attachment, are at Exhibit
C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
She asserts she has been a Texas resident for most of her life
and has never paid New Jersey taxes. The economy has hit her
hard and she is trying to put four children through college.
This change in her record would help her family.
Her complete response is at 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 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 office of primary responsibility (OPR) and
adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
While the applicants comments in response to the Air Force
evaluation is duly noted, we do not find her assertions
sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided by
the Air Force OPR. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in 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.

After a review of the applicants military personnel record, it appears there is no error or injustice justifying a change in her home of record.
