RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02309
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His home of record (HOR) be changed from Las Vegas, Nevada (NV) to Redmond, Washington (WA).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He moved to the United States from Trinidad and Tobago and settled with his family in Las Vegas. He was told at the time of his reenlistment that he could change his HOR. Also, in 2012 he enrolled in a community college in Washington State and his plans are to return there upon his separation from the Air Force on 29 September 2014. As such, the correction of his HOR to Washington will make his continued Veterans Affairs (VA) care and educational benefits easier.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 1 October 2002.
According to the applicants DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, Las Vegas, NV was annotated as his HOR.
On 29 September 2014, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 11 years, 11 months, and 29 days of active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. The DD Form 4 is the source document for HOR and place of entry (POE). Appendix A of the Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR) for Uniformed Service Members indicates the HOR is the place recorded as the home of the individual 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. 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 and any correction must be fully justified. AFPC Enlisted Accessions Branch confirmed that the applicant initialed the DD Form 4, dated 28 June 2002, listing Las Vegas, NV as his HOR. As such, there was no error or justification that warrants a change in the applicants 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 10 November 2014 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
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 applicants 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.
