RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:
		DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-00062
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home of Record (HOR) reflect Waco McLennan County, Texas, 
rather than Little Rock, Arkansas.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Texas has been her legal permanent home state since 1964.  She 
has been granted benefits based on being a Texas veteran.  This 
error has caused undue hardship.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 17 March 
1976.

On 1 February 1977, the applicant was honorably discharged in 
the grade of airman under the provisions of AFM 39-10.  She 
served 9 months and 19 days on active duty.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial.  DPSIPE states the DD Form 4, 
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United 
States, is the source document for HOR and Place of Entry (POE).  
The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), Volume 1, Appendix 
Al, part 1, states, “The place recorded as the home of the 
individual when reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted remains 
the same as that recorded when commission, appointed, enlisted 
or inducted, or ordered into the tour of active duty, unless 
there is a break in service of more than one full day.  Only if 
a break in service exceeds one full day, may the member change 
the HOR.”  

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; a 
correction must be fully justified.  Domicile or legal residence 
may change, but the HOR will not.  AFPC Enlisted Accessions 
Branch confirmed that her initialed DD FM 4/1, dated 17 March 
1976, on file lists Little Rock, Arkansas, as her HOR.

There appears to not be an error or injustice in this case.

The DPSIPE complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 15 September 2014, 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 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 
(OPR) 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 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.




The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-00062 in Executive Session on 18 November 2014, 
under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:
