RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-02924

		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, reflect the following:

	a.  Item 7a (Place of Entry into Active Duty (PLEAD)) 
reflect Niceville, FL, rather than Tuscaloosa, AL.

	b.  Item 7b (Home of Record (HOR) at Time of Entry) reflect 
Niceville, FL, rather than Clifton, VA.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was commissioned into the Air Force at the completion of his 
two-year Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at the University 
of Alabama.  Tuscaloosa, AL, should be his entry into service 
and his initial home of record.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Special Orders No. AL-000418 reflects the applicant was relieved 
from active duty effective 30 June 2013 and retired effective 
1 July 2013 with 26 years, 4 months and 16 days of active 
service for retirement. 


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPS recommends denial.  DPSIPS states while a service 
member’s domicile or legal residence may change as they relocate 
during their military career, their HOR will not change.  The 
applicant’s Military Personnel Record Group was reviewed; 
specifically his DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document 
Armed Forces of the United States; AF Form 24, Application for 
Appointment as Reserves of the Air Force or USAF Without 
Component; AF Form 766, Extended Active Duty Order, dated 
12 January 1987.  Each of these forms lists his HOR as Clifton, 
VA, and his PLEAD as Tuscaloosa, AL.  In addition, per the Joint 
Federal Travel Regulation, Volume I, Appendix A, any correction 
must be fully justified and the home must be the actual home of 
the member upon entering the service, and not a different place 
selected for the member’s convenience.  Additionally, appendix A 
states “Only if a break in service exceeds one full day may the 
member change the HOR”.

There is no justification to change the applicant’s HOR or 
PLEAD.  Item 7a and 7b reflected on his DD Form 214 is correct 
according to his military service documents.

The complete AFPC/DPSIPS 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 17 October 2014 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 is timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  The 
applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, 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.  Therefore, 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 the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of an 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.



The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-02924 in Executive Session on 2 April 2015, under 
the provisions of AFI 36-2603:


The following documentary evidence was considered:
