RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01105
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Home Of Record (HOR) be changed from XXXXXXXXXX to
XXXXXXXXXX.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He misunderstood the definition of HOR at the time of
commissioning. XXXXXXXXXX, was his correct HOR and the place he
resided for almost two years prior to commissioning at the
University of XXXXXXXXXX Y, after graduating from Air Force
Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC). He is a registered
voter in XXXXXXXXXX and has always maintained a XXXXXXXXXX
drivers license while on active duty.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 10 Jun 01, the applicant initially entered the Regular Air
Force.
On 11 May 91, the applicant listed XXXXXXXXXX as his HOR in
Block 6 of AF Form 24, Application for Appointment as Reserve of
the Air Force or USAF Without Component, and his personal
mailing address as XXXXXXXXXX.
On 10 Mar 13, the applicant was furnished an honorable
discharge, and was credited with 11 years, 9 months, and 1 day
of active service. According to his DD Form 214, his place of
entry into active duty reflects XXXXXXXXXX but his HOR is
reflected as XXXXXXXXXX.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, are
described in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which are included at Exhibits C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIPS recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence
of an error or injustice. The Joint Federal Travel Regulation
identifies the HOR as 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. The applicants AF Form 24,
Application for Appointment as Reserve of the Air Force or USAF
Without Component, and AF Form 766, Extended Active Duty Order,
list XXXXXXXXXX, as his HOR.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant does not deny XXXXXXXXXX is documented as his HOR
in his official military records. He is not seeking the change
to gain entitlements, but to make his record as accurate as
possible. He reiterates he was misinformed [prior to completing
the AF Form 24] and lists several pieces of source documentation
to prove residency in XXXXXXXXXX prior to commissioning
(Exhibit E).
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission, to include his rebuttal
response to the advisory opinion, in judging the merits of the
case. While the Board notes the comment from AFPC/DPSIPS that
the applicant willfully listed XXXXXXXXXX, as his HOR, we
believe the information provided in the applicants request
clearly establishes XXXXXXXXXX, as his actual home for many
years prior to his initially entering the service. In this
respect we note the applicant has provided a letter from the
university he attended while at ROTC, and an Air Force Leave and
Earning Statement documenting he was living in XXXXXXXXXX for
the two years leading up to his accession. As a result, we find
it highly likely that the applicant erroneously reported his HOR
as P XXXXXXXXXX, when, for all practical intents and purposes,
his HOR was XXXXXXXXXX. Therefore, we recommend the applicants
record be corrected as indicated below.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that his
official home of record (HOR) is XXXXXXXXXX, instead of
XXXXXXXXXX.
