RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03649

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, be corrected to reflect the following:

1.  Block 7a, Place of Entry into Active Duty, be corrected to 
reflect Galveston, TX, rather than Nashville, TN 
(Administratively Resolved).

2.  Block 7b, Home of Record at Time of Entry, be corrected to 
reflect Galveston, TX, rather than Marrero, LA.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

When she entered active duty she was a resident of Texas (TX) 
but her DD Form 214, was never changed to reflect that.  She has 
been a resident of TX for more than five years.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant’s DD Form 24, Application for 
Appointment as Reserve of the Air Force or USAF without 
Component, dated 18 Sep 99, Marrero, Louisiana (LA) was 
annotated as her HOR.

On 28 Apr 00, the applicant was commissioned in the grade of 
second lieutenant (O-1) in the Reserve of the Air Force.

On 17 Aug 08, the applicant commenced a period of extended 
active duty (EAD).  On 16 Aug 11, the applicant was furnished an 
honorable discharge, and was credited with three years of active 
service.   

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/DPANF recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  The Joint Federal travel Regulation 
(JFTR) defines the home of record (HOR) as 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.  The HOR can only be changed if there is a break in 
service of at least one full day.  In accordance with the JFTR, 
the applicant recorded her HOR as Marrero, LA when she 
commissioned into the Reserve of the Air Force and there was no 
break in service from when she commissioned to when she accessed 
to active duty.  As such, there is no justification to change 
the applicant’s HOR.  Additionally Appendix A 1 of the JFTR, 
reads the place of entry into active duty (PLEAD) is addressed 
as the place at which the member attains a military status or at 
which the member enters the service.  

In accordance with the JFTR, the applicant recorded her PLEAD as 
Galveston, TX and had no breaks in service; therefore her 
extended active duty order reflected her PLEAD as Galveston, TX 
when she accessed to active duty.  Upon final board decision the 
applicant’s DD Form 214, dated 16 Aug 11 will be 
administratively corrected to change: block 7a, Place of Entry 
into Active Duty, to Galveston, TX.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPANF 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 23 Feb 15, 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 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.  
We note the Air Force OPR has determined the applicant’s place 
of entry into active duty (PLEAD) was recorded as Galveston, TX, 
and will correct her records administratively.  Therefore, in 
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting any relief beyond that rendered 
administratively.  


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.
