RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01311

			COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed to reflect New Orleans, LA.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She swore in and departed from the Military Entrance Processing 
Station (MEPS) in New Orleans, Louisiana. 

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of Airman First Class (A1C).

According to the applicant’s DD Form 4, her home of record is 
listed as Falling Waters (Berkeley), WV.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  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 A1, part 1, 
states, “The place recorded as the home of the individual when 
reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted remains the same as that 
recorded when commissioned, 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 Form 4/1, dated 14 Jan 12, as well as 
subsequent enlistment documents, lists Falling Waters, 
(Berkeley), WV as her HOR.  It is believed that member is 
referring to their Place of Enlistment/Reenlistment which is New 
Orleans, LA; however, this action was not asked in the advisory.

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 28 Jul 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 timely filed.

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 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.
