RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01367
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His home of record (HOR) be corrected to reflect Rochester Hills, Michigan (MI).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When he was commissioned in 2006 he was a participant in the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) and living in Kansas City, MO, where he attended medical school. At that time he was told that his HOR was an address where he could receive mail over the next couple of years. Given this information he listed his parents address in Mandan, ND; however, he has not lived at that address since graduating high school in 2002. After graduating from medical school he moved to Michigan to complete his clinical rotations and first year internship from Jul 08 to Jul 11. He then departed for active duty from Rochester Hills, MI and assumed that this was the same area he would be moved back to. Furthermore, he and his wife own a home in the area, he has retained his residency, and is medically licensed in the state of Michigan.
He was unaware that the address he provided would be the location he would get moved back to after military service and requests the change so his family can move back home and he can complete his medical residency.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides his Michigan state medical license; internship completion certificate from the hospital he was trained; a letter of acceptance for residency upon completion of his military commitment; his travel order for a flight physical showing he resided in Rochester Hills, MI; and a copy of his AF IMT 766, Extended Active Duty Order.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a member of the Air Force serving in the grade of captain (O-3). Block 1 of the AF IMT Form 766 reflects Rochester Hill, MI as the address he would depart from for active duty. Block 5 of the AF IMT Form 766 lists Mawdan, ND as his Home of Record.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the applicants military records, are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit B.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPANF2 recommends denial. On 23 Feb 06, the applicant recorded Mandan, ND on the AF Form 24, Application for Appointment as a Reserve of the Air Force Officer, to attend the Air Force HPSP program. In Jul 06, he commissioned as a second lieutenant in the AF Reserve with the intent to attend HPSP. While in the program he attended the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in Kansas City, MO. In Dec 10, upon completion of the HPSP he was reappointed as a captain and remained in the reserves while attending a civilian residency program in Pontiac, MI, until he accessed to active duty in Jul 11. He was reappointed on 27 May 2011 and later transferred from the Reserves to active duty; however, this does not constitute a break in service.
The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), Volume 1, Appendix A, states the place recorded as the home of the individual when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted or ordered into a tour of active duty. Additionally it 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 order into the tour of active duty unless there is a break in service of more than one full day. The JFTR also requires the applicant to fully justify the correction he seeks and show the location is the actual home upon entering the service and not a place selected for his convenience.
The justification does not warrant HOR to be changed to Rochester Hill, MI. The applicant submitted the Address Information for Extended Active Duty (EAD) order memorandum to the EAD order authenticating official reflecting his HOR as Mandan, ND and his place of entry as Rochester Hill, MI. He did not have a break in service of more than one full day; therefore a change to his HOR is not authorized. In accordance with the JFTR the HOR must be the members actual home upon entering the Service, and not a different place selected for the member's convenience.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPNAF2 evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.
