RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04328 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His home of record (HOR) be changed from Elizabethtown, 
Pennsylvania (PA) to Smithfield, Virginia (VA). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His home of record should be changed to reflect his parent’s 
home of record since they are listed as his next of kin and 
emergency contact. In the instance his military service ends, 
he plans to separate to Smithfield, VA. His military records 
incorrectly state Elizabethtown, California instead of 
Pennsylvania. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is a staff sergeant in the Regular Air Force. His 
DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of 
the United States, reflects Elizabethtown, PA as his home of 
record at the time of his enlistment. 

 

EXAMINERS NOTE: The applicant states his HOR reflects 
Elizabethtown, CA; however, it was confirmed that his records 
reflect Elizabethtown, PA. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. The applicant’s records reflect 
Elizabethtown, PA as the HOR at which he resided prior to 
entering the Air Force. This address is listed as his HOR on 
the DD Form 4 and serves as the source document for the HOR. 
That same address is listed as the member’s current address at 
the time of enlistment. The Joint Federal Travel Regulation for 
Uniformed Service Members Appendix A states the home of record 
is the place recorded as the home of the individual when 


commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted or ordered into a 
tour of active duty. Any correction made to a member’s home of 
record must be fully justified and the home, as corrected, must 
be the member’s actual home upon entering the service, and not a 
different place selected for the member’s convenience. 

 

There is no error or justification that warrants a change in the 
member’s home of record. 

 

 

The complete DPSIPE 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 9 October 2012, 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 his home of record or 
his place of entry currently reflected in his records were 
incorrectly recorded at the time he initially came on active 
duty. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice. 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.
