         RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-02034

 			COUNSEL: NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

Her home of record (HOR) be corrected to reflect Alamogordo, New 
Mexico.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She has not physically lived in New Jersey since March 2000 and 
requests a permanent change of address. 

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a former member of the Air Force who served 
from 1 March 2000 through 27 September 2014 when she was 
permanently disability retired in the grade of technical 
sergeant. 

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial.  The DD Form 4/1, 
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United 
States, is the source document for the home of record and place 
of entry.  The Joint Federal Travel Regulation for Uniformed 
Service Members Appendix A, 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, inducted or ordered into a 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 a 
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.  

The applicant initialed the DD Form 4/1 on 11 December 1999, as 
well as subsequent enlistment documents listing Fairview, New 
Jersey as her HOR.  

After a review of the applicant’s military personnel record, it 
appears there is no error or injustice justifying a change in 
her home of record.  

The complete 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 29 September 2014, for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, this office has received 
no response.

________________________________________________________________

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 error or injustice.  The 
applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we are not 
persuaded that her home of record or her place of entry 
currently reflected in her records were incorrectly recorded at 
the time she initially came on active duty.  Therefore, we agree 
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for 
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an 
error or injustice.  In the absence of evidence to the contrary, 
we find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.

________________________________________________________________
