RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04246

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  YES 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home or Record (HOR) be corrected to reflect San Antonio, 
Texas on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge 
from Active Duty.  


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He established Texas residency in 1999, registered to vote in 
TX, purchased a home in TX, changed his Leave and Earnings 
Statement (LES), and remained in San Antonio, TX until his 
discharge in August 2004.  He then commissioned through Officer 
Training School (OTS) in August 2004.  

The entry made by the local finance office on his Extended 
Active Duty (EAD) Order incorrectly listed his HOR to his 
previous address in Virginia.  

His DD Form 214 currently reflects his HOR is Hayes, VA.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Air Force Reserve on 
6 Jan 84 and remained in the Air Force Reserve until 19 Mar 84 
when he entered the Regular Air Force on 20 Mar 84.

On 13 Aug 04, the applicant separated from the Regular Air Force 
and was credited with 20 years, 4 months, and 24 days of active 
service.   

According to the AF Form 768, Extended Active Duty Order, the 
applicant commissioned with the Regular Air Force on 14 Aug 04.

On 31 Aug 14, the applicant retired from the Regular Air Force 
in the grade of Major (O-4) and was credited with 30 years, 
7 months, and 25 days 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/DPSIPE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  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 was reviewed the DD Form 4, 
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United 
States, his AF Form 24, Application for Appointment as Reserve 
of the Air Force or USAF Without Component, and his AF Form 766, 
Extended Active Duty Order, all reflect Hayes, VA as his HOR.

In addition, per the Joint Federal Travel Regulation, Vol 1, 
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.  
Appendix A states “Only if a break in service exceeds one full 
day may the member change the 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 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.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.

4.  The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.  
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered.


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.

Number BC-2014-04246 in Executive Session on 11 Jun 15, under
