RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00115
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His home of record (HOR) and permanent mailing address be changed from Los Angeles, CA to Texas (TX).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, reflects Los Angeles, CA as his HOR only because he was residing in a hotel located in CA at the time of his enlistment. His HOR and permanent mailing address was actually in TX.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 27 Apr 60.
According to the applicants DD Form 4, Enlistment Record Armed Forces of the United States, Los Angeles, CA was annotated as his place of enlistment and home address.
On 9 Dec 63, the applicant was honorably discharged and credited with 3 years, 7 months, and 13 days of total active service.
On 11 Jul 13, AFPC/DPSOR notified the applicant that in regards to the permanent address annotated on his DD Form 214, it is correct. When the form was created, the permanent address was used for mailing purposes. It does not affect any benefits and will not be altered.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility, which are attached at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of an error or injustice. The applicants records reflect Los Angeles, CA 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 all supplementary enlistment contracts. Appendix A of the Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR) for Uniformed Service Members indicates 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. Furthermore, the HOR is the location documented on the initial enlistment document, not a location where the individual is later assigned or a location selected for convenience and any correction must be fully justified. As such, there was no error or justification that warrants a change in the applicants HOR to TX.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant argues that the address listed as his HOR, no longer exists. Also, his family members that resided at the annotated permanent address, no longer reside there. His HOR and permanent address should be changed in order for future correspondence sent from the Air Force or any other branches of service be correctly forwarded to the right address.
The applicants 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 an error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission, including his rebuttal response, 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. 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.
