RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-05713

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from “Oak Harbor, 
Washington” to “San Diego, California.”

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

When was enlisting in the Air Force his HOR was incorrectly 
listed as Oak Harbor, Washington.  In January 2010, his HOR was 
changed to San Diego, CA.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant commenced his enlistment in the United States 
Marine Corps on 4 Jan 06.  He was discharged on 3 Jan 10 and 
transferred the Marine Corps Reserve.  He was discharged from 
the Marine Corps Reserve on 7 Aug 12.  He enlisted in the 
Regular Air Force on 8 Aug 12.

The applicant’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge 
from Active Duty, dated 1 Mar 10, reflects his HOR as Oak 
Harbor, Washington.

The applicant’s 8 Aug 12 DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment 
Document Armed Forces of the United States, also reflects his 
HOR as Oak Harbor, Washington.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________




AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFRC/DPSIPE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice.  The applicant’s HOR is listed throughout 
his military records as “Oak Harbor, Washington.”  The Joint 
Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR), Volume 1, Appendix A, states 
the Home of Record as the place recorded as the home of the 
individual at the time when enlisted, commissioned, appointed, 
inducted or ordered to active duty.  Any corrections made to a 
service member’s HOR must be justified and if corrected the HOR 
must be the service member’s actual home upon entering the 
Service and not a different place selected for the service 
member’s convenience.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPE evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

His recruiter inadvertently copied his HOR from his DD Form 214 
from the Marine Corps.  He has documentation showing his HOR was 
San Diego, California upon enlisting in the Air Force.

A complete copy of the applicant’s 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 timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an 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 
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  
Under the provisions of the Joint Federal Travel Regulations the 
HOR can be changed only if there has been a break in service of 
one full day or a bona fide error was made in recording the 
information given by the member.  There was no evidence found in 
his military records indicating his HOR was recorded 
incorrectly.  While the applicant contends that his Air Force 
Recruiter simply erroneously copied his HOR from his previous 
DD Form 214, in view of the fact the applicant did not have a 
break in service during his military career, there is no basis 
to conclude that his HOR could have even been changed when he 
was accessed into the Regular Air Force.  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 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.
