RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00320
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, Item 7a, Place of Entry into Active Duty (PLEAD), and Item
7b, Home of Record (HOR) be corrected to reflect College
Station, Texas.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She is originally from Tucson, Arizona but elected Texas as her
HOR immediately upon entry into active duty which is consistent
with her first duty station as an Air Force Institute of
Technology student at Texas A&M University in college Station,
Texas. However, this election was not reflected on her DD Form
214, hence the error in question.
She noticed this error after reviewing her discharge paperwork
in preparation for her spouses pending retirement. Rectifying
this error has significant implications to her Department of
Veterans Affairs benefits in Texas, particularly with respects
to the Hazlewood Act for her childrens college tuition.
In support of her request, the applicant submits a copy of her
DD Form 214 and a copy of orders and associated supplemental
information showing her initial entry into active duty as Texas
A&M University, College Station, Texas.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 1 Jun
94.
On 3 Mar 99, AF Form 100, Request and Authorization for
Separation, listed the applicants PLEAD as United States Air
Force Academy and Tucson, Arizona as HOR.
On 1 Jun 99, the applicant was furnished an Honorable discharge,
and was credited with 5 years and 1 day of active service. The
applicants DD Form 214, Item 7a lists USAF Academy, CO as PLEAD
and Item 7b lists Tuscon, AZ as HOR.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the memorandums prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibit C
and D.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPANF2 recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. The Joint Federal Travel Regulation,
Volume 1, Appendix A, reads HOR is the place recorded as the
individuals home when commissioned, appointed, enlisted,
inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty. Additionally,
it states the place recorded as the individuals home when
reinstated, reappointed 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. Any such correction must be fully justified and
the home, as corrected, must be the members actual home upon
entering the Service, and not a different place selected for the
members convenience. Appendix A1 defines PLEAD as the place of
acceptance in current enlistment, commission, or appointment for
an active Service member. For cadets of a Service academy, they
will list the place at when the member attains a military status
or which the member enters the service. Note: Generally this
is the academic institution and not the members HOR.
The applicant did not have a break in service of more than one
full day; therefore a change to the applicants PLEAD and HOR is
not authorized.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPANF2 evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/JA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an
error or an injustice. It is important to note that in the
United States Military, there is a difference between the terms
HOR and Legal Residence. These may or may not be the same
address. At the time of the applicants commission, her PLEAD
was recorded as the USAF Academy, Colorado and her HOR was
Tucson, Arizona.
A complete copy of the AFPC/JA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 15 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). 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 applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility (OPR) and adopt their rationale as the basis for
our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error
of injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested
relief.
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.
