RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02416

					COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her official Home of Record (HOR) be changed to reflect Homestead, Florida.  


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She enlisted in Louisiana because it was closer to her grandfather.  She did not have a home at the time, and was told to use her emergency contact information (her grandfather’s address) as her HOR.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant currently serves in the Regular Air Force in the grade of Senior Airman (SrA/E-4).  According to her DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, her HOR is Ouachita, LA.

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.”  Therefore, the HOR is the location identified by the individual upon entering service and not a location the individual is later assigned or a location selected for convenience.  Any correction must be fully justified.  Domicile or legal residence may change, but the HOR will not.  The applicant initialed her DD Form 4 on 23 Nov 09 listing Ouachita, LA as her HOR.  There is no error or injustice that would justify a change in the applicant’s 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 25 Aug 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 AFPC/DPSIPE 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.
