AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-04055

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from “Jena, Louisiana” to 
“New Hope, Alabama.”

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He lived in Alabama at the time he enlisted.  He was a visitor 
of Louisiana and not a resident when he enlisted.  

He graduated from high school in May 68 and enlisted in the Air 
Force in Oct 68.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 23 Oct 68, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the 
Regular Air Force.  The DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment 
Document, reflects his HOR as Jena, Louisiana.  On 27 Jul 71, 
the applicant was honorably discharged.  He reenlisted in the 
Regular Air Force on 28 Jul 71 and the DD Form 4 executed with 
his re-enlistment reflected his HOR as Jena, Louisiana.  He was 
released from active duty on 5 Jul 72.

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:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  After reviewing the documentation 
presented and the applicant’s military personnel record, there 
is no evidence to warrant changing the applicant’s HOR.  The DD 
Form 4 is the source document for HOR and place of entry (POE).  
The Joint Federal travel Regulation (JFTR) defines the HOR as 
the place recorded as the home of the individual when 
reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted remains the same as that 
recorded when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or 
ordered into a tour of active duty.  The HOR can only be changed 
if there is a break in service of at least one full day.  The 
HOR is listed by the individual upon entering military service, 
not a location where the individual is later assigned or a 
location selected for convenience.  A correction to the HOR must 
be fully justified.  The domicile or legal residency may change, 
but the HOR will not.  The AFPC Officer Accessions Branch 
confirmed the applicant initialed the DD Form 4 dated 28 Jul 17 
which lists Jena, Louisiana has his HOR.

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 7 Jan 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.

________________________________________________________________

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 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.
