RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:				DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-04662

								COUNSEL: NONE

								HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

His home of record (HOR) be corrected to reflect Beaumont 
(Jefferson County), Texas (TX).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was born in Texas and he claimed Texas as his home of record.  
When he enlisted, his step-father was on military orders in 
Germany.

In support of his appeal, the applicant submits his birth 
certificate, leave and earnings statement, AF Form 100, Request 
and Authorization for Separation and a photo of his passport.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a former member of the Air Force who served 
from 16 January 2007 through 15 January 2013.  His DD Form 4/1, 
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United 
States, reflects APO, AE  09036 (Wuerzberg, Germany) as his home 
of record at the time of his enlistment.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial.  The applicant’s records reflect 
APO, AE (Wuerzberg, Germany) as the HOR at which he resided 
prior to entering the United States Air Force.  That address is 
listed as his HOR on the DD Form 4 and serves as the source 
document for the HOR.  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 30 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.
