AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01266
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Home of Record (HOR) be corrected to reflect Columbus Ohio.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her HOR at time of entry into the Air Force should reflect
Columbus, Ohio. She enlisted into the Air Force on 1 May 73 at
Fort Hayes Army Base, Columbus, Ohio.
In support of her request, she submits a letter of selection for
the United States Air Force, dated 27 Jun 72 and an AF Form 941,
Statement of Understanding (Delayed Enlistment Program) signed
18 Sep 72; which identifies Columbus Ohio as the place of
signature. The letter was addressed to the applicant at Ohio
43219.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Air Force Reserve on 21 Sep
72. Block 41 of her DD Form 4/1, Enlistment Contract Armed
Forces of the United States, lists Columbus, Ohio as her HOR.
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 5 Jan
73. Block 41 of her DD Form 4/1, Enlistment Contract Armed
Forces of the United States, lists Columbus, Ohio as her HOR.
On 7 Oct 76, the applicant reenlisted for a period of four
years. Block 5 of her DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment
Document Armed Forces of the United States, lists Columbus,
Ohio as her HOR.
On 7 Oct 80, the applicant reenlisted for a period of four
years. Block 5 of her DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment
Document Armed Forces of the United States, lists Columbus,
Ohio as her HOR.
On 5 Oct 84, the applicant reenlisted for a period of four

Document Armed Forces of the United States, lists Detroit,
Michigan as her HOR.
On 3 Oct 88, the applicant reenlisted for a period of four

Document Armed Forces of the United States, list Detroit,
Michigan as her HOR.
On 31 Jan 93, the applicant retired with an Honorable discharge,
and credited with 20 years and 26 days of active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application,
extracted from the applicants military records, are described
in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary
responsibility (OPR), which are included at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence
of an error or injustice. 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 could not confirm that the applicant initialed
her DD Form 4/1, as well as subsequent enlistments document
listing Columbus, OH as her 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 30 Sep 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. After a
thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicants
complete submission, we believe the applicant has provided
sufficient evidence to raise doubt regarding the accuracy of her
HOR. While we note AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial, we believe
the applicants initial enlistment contract to include eight
subsequent years which reflect her HOR as Columbus OH is
sufficient to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that her
Home of Record was erroneously changed during her career.
Therefore, we recommend the applicants records 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
Columbus, Ohio as her Home of Record.
