RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
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 applicant’s 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 
years.  Block 5 of her DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment 
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 
years.  Block 5 of her DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment 
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 applicant’s 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 applicant’s 
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 applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-01266 in Executive Session on 13 Jan 15 under the 
provisions of AFI 36-2603:

	, Panel Chair
