COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

 
 
IN THE MATTER OF: 
 
   
 
   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
His  Home  of  Record  (HOR)  be  changed  from  Taylor,  MO  to 
Quincy, IL.   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
When he enlisted his parents resided in Taylor, MO, but were in 
the  transition  of  moving  to  Quincy,  IL.    His  recruiter  didn’t 
change his home of residence to Quincy, IL before he went to the 
Military  Entry  Processing  (MEPS)  station.    He  would  like 
Illinois Veteran benefits.   
 
In  support  of  his  request,  the  applicant  provides  copies  of  a 
letter from his attorney and a college enrollment form with his 
name on it showing an address in Quincy, IL, dated 22 Sep 06.   
 
The  applicant’s  complete  submission,  with  attachments,  is  at 
Exhibit A. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR) for Uniformed Service 
Members states the HOR is the place recorded as the home of the 
individual  when  commissioned,  appointed,  enlisted,  inducted,  or 
ordered  into  a  tour  of  active  duty.    Once  established,  an  HOR 
cannot change unless the member has a complete break in service.   
 
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained  in  the  letter  prepared  by  the  appropriate  Air  Force 
office  of  primary  responsibility,  which  is  attached  at

injustice. 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
ARPC/DPT recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of an 
error 
an 
Enlistment/Reenlistment  Document  (DD  Form  4/1)  on  20  Mar  08 
placing  him  in  the  Delayed  Entry/Enlistment  Program  (DEP).    He 
then  resigned  the  same  form  on  27  Jan  09,  the  day  he  was 
discharged  from  the  DEP  and  joined  the  Regular  Air  Force.    The 
address  in  Block  3  of  the  DD  Form  4/1  establishing  the  Home  of 
Record  was  Taylor,  MO.    In  addition,  the  applicant  was  required 
to create a DD Form 214 worksheet prior to his ultimate discharge 
since  he  was  in  the  Regular  Air  Force,  and  he  again  placed  his 
Home of Record at the time of entry (Block 7b of the DD Form 214) 
as  Taylor,  MO.    The  applicant  had  numerous  chances  to  establish 
his Home of Record. 
 
A  complete  copy  of  the  ARPC/DPT  evaluation,  with  attachment,  is 
at Exhibit C.

 ________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 11 May 12 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this 
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D). 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
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  an  error  or  injustice.    The  Joint 
Federal Travel Regulation states the Home of Record (HOR) is the 
place recorded as the home of the individual when enlisted into 
a  tour  of  duty.    Once  established  an  HOR  cannot  change  unless 
the member has a complete break in service.  Thus, while we took 
notice  of  the  applicant’s  complete  submission  in  judging  the 
merits of the case; we agree with the opinion of the office of 
primary  responsibility  (OPR)  and  adopt  their  rationale  as  the 
basis  for  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  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.
