RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-01395
JOHN P. MAAS COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Home of Record (HOR) be changed to Anchorage, AK.
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes his record to be unjust due to negligence on the
part of several parties. He exercised due diligence in having
his records updated to reflect Alaska as his HOR. He has made
several formal requests to the Military Personnel Flight (MPF)
at both Elmendorf and Ramstein AFBs. During each encounter he
was given conflicting reasons or information as to the proper
procedures to accomplish what he feels was a right for a
military member who has served his country for 17 years,
11 months, and 1 day. He was honorably discharged and his
greatest hopes were to serve his country for 30 years.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of his
Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) Form 702, Leave
and Earnings Statement and his Alaskan Drivers License.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 2 Feb 95, the applicant enlisted and entered active duty in
the grade of airman basic (AB/E-1). The applicants
DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, and all subsequent
contracts reflect Mt. Sterling, OH as the HOR.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. There is no evidence of an error
or justification that warrants a change to the official record.
Lack of job opportunities in Ohio is not a reason to change
enlistment documents.
DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the
United States, is the source document for HOR. The Joint
Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR) for Uniformed Service,
Volume 1, Appendix A1, part 1 states the HOR is, "The place
recorded as the individual's home when commissioned, appointed,
enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty. Only
if a break in service exceeds one full day may the member change
the HOR." 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; a
correction must be fully justified. The applicant's initial
DD Form 4, dated 17 Jun 94, and all supplementary enlistment
contracts reflect Mt. Sterling, Ohio as the HOR.
The complete DPSIPE evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 25 Apr 13 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 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 that 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.
