RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-03652
		COUNSEL:  NONE
	XXXXXXXXXX	HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be corrected as follows:

      Item 7a, Place of Entry (POE) into Active Duty, be changed 
from Benton, IL to Laughlin, TX; 

      Item 7b, Home of Record (HOR) at time of Entry, be changed 
from Benton, IL to Laughlin, TX.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

On 1 June 1983, he entered active duty at Laughlin AFB, TX after 
graduation from the US Air Force Academy (USAFA).

The applicant states that he discovered the error in a recent VA 
Mortgage Loan transaction in which the financial institution 
stated his entry into active duty should be corrected to reflect 
Laughlin AFB, Texas 78843 as a result of the first active duty 
assignment listed under military education. 

In support of his request the applicant provides copies of his 
DD Form 214, AF Form 475, Education/Training Report and AF Form 
1887, Request and Authorization for Aeronautical Orders.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant served in the Regular Air Force from 1 June 
1983 to 14 December 1990.  He served for a period of 7 years, 
6 months and 14 days of active service.

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

DPSIPS recommends denial.  After a thorough review of the 
applicant's military personnel record and other supporting 
documentation, there appears to be no error or injustice 
regarding the applicant’s HOR and POE.  Joint Federal Travel 
Regulation Volume I, Appendix A, states in part that a HOR is 
the place recorded as the individual’s home when commissioned, 
appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active 
duty.  Any correction 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.  The applicant's Extended Active Duty Order, DD 
Form 214, and AF Form 100, Request and Authorization for 
Separation, list his HOR as Benton, IL.  The AF Form 475 and AF 
Form 1887 list the first duty station of Laughlin AFB, TX, not 
the HOR; therefore, they are not considered in this 
determination.  The member attended the USAFA, Colorado Springs 
which is deemed as his original POE.

The complete DPSIPS evaluation, with attachment is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 6 December 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant 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 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 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 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.
