RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-03581

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His home of record (HOR) be changed from Arizona (AZ) to 
Virginia (VA).  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was actually living in VA prior to departing for Air Force 
Basic Military Training (BMT) and only enlisted in Arizona.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s military personnel records indicate he enlisted 
in the Regular Air Force on 21 Jul 09.

According to the applicant’s DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment 
Document – Armed Forces of the United States, executed on 19 Nov 
08, “Glendale (Maricopa), AZ” was annotated as his HOR.

On 21 Jul 09, the applicant commenced his initial period of 
active service.  On 20 Sep 13, he was honorably discharged and 
credited with four years and two months of total active service.  
According to item 7(b) of his DD Form 214, Certificate of 
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, his home of record at 
time of entry reflects “Glendale (Maricopa), AZ.”

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

________________________________________________________________


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence 
of an error or injustice.  The applicant’s DD Form 4 is the 
source document for HOR and place of entry (POE).  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, unless there is 
a break in service of more than one full day.  The HOR is the 
location identified by the individual upon entering the service, 
not a location where the individual is later assigned or a 
location selected for convenience and any correction must be 
fully justified.  AFPC Enlisted Accessions Branch confirmed that 
the applicant initialed the DD Form 4, dated 19 Nov 08, as well 
as subsequent enlistment documents, listing Glendale (Maricopa), 
AZ as his HOR.  As such, there was no error or justification 
that warrants a change in the applicant’s HOR to VA. 

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

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 14 Nov 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 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.
