AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 
 
DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-02477 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
   
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
His Home of Record reflect Beckley, WV, rather than Surfside, SC. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
The  HOR  section  on  his  DD  Form  1966,  Record  of  Military 
Processing – Armed Forces of the United States, is blank.  He is 
not  sure  why  his  current  address  at  the  time  of  his  initial 
enlistment is used for his HOR.  He was born in Beckley, WV, and 
that is where his family lives. 
 
In support of the applicant’s appeal, he provides a copy of his 
DD Form 1966. 
 
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The  applicant  is  currently  serving  in  the  Regular  Air  Force  in 
the grade of staff sergeant. 
 
The  applicant’s  DD  Form  4/1,  Enlistment/Reenlistment  Document 
Armed Forces of the United States, reflects the HOR as Surfside, 
SC. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
AFPC/DPSIPE  recommends  denial.    DPSIPE  states  the  applicant’s 
records reflect Surfside, SC, as the HOR at which he lived prior 
to entering the Air Force enlisted ranks.  This address is also 
listed on his DD Form 4 as the HOR, which per AFI 36-2608, Table 
A2.1,  Item  5,  is  the  source  document  for  HOR.    Due  to  this 
finding, the applicant’s HOR is Surfside, SC.  The Joint Federal 
Travel Regulations (JFTR) for Uniformed Service Members Appendix 
A states that 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.    Any  correction  made  to  a 
 
 

member’s HOR 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.  
There is no error or justification that warrants a change in the 
applicant’s record. 
 
The DPSIPE complete evaluation is at Exhibit B. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
On 2 July 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit 
C).    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 timely filed. 
 
3.  Insufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  an  error  or  injustice.    The 
applicant’s  contentions  are  duly  noted;  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  an  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.
