APPLICANT REQUESTS: Correction to his home of record (HOR).
APPLICANT STATES: That he plans to reside in California with his brother on his return from overseas. He also states his parents have divorced since his enlistment.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 18 August 1996 for 5 years. His HOR was shown as Chino Valley, Arizona.
The Chief, Personnel Actions Branch, Enlisted Records and Evaluation Center, expressed the opinion that the request for change of HOR is not favorably considered as there is no authority to change a HOR as recorded at the time of entry into the relevant period of service. The Joint Federal Travel Regulation authorizes correction only when through a bona fide error, the place originally named at time of current entry into the service was not in fact the actual home. Any such correction must be the actual home of the member upon entering the service, and not a different place selected for the member’s convenience. In accordance with Army Regulation 601-280, table 11-1, item 3, HOR can be changed only if a break in service exceeds one full day. It was recommended that the requested action be denied.
The opinion was forwarded to the applicant for rebuttal on 24 August 2001 and returned undeliverable on 18 September 2001. The opinion was forwarded to the applicant at his new address on 24 October 2001. He did not respond.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, and advisory opinion(s), it is concluded:
1. In view of the circumstances in this case, the applicant is not entitled to correction of his HOR. He has not shown error, injustice, or inequity for the relief he now requests.
2. His records show his HOR in the state of Arizona prior to and during his period of active duty service. Pertinent regulations specify a HOR can be changed only if there is a break in service exceeding one full day.
3. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.
4. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.

The enlistment contract the applicant entered into on 6 December 2001 lists her HOR as Torrance, California in Item 3 (Home of Record). It provides guidance for corrections for members whose permanent home address was listed incorrectly in official records. In this case, the evidence of record clearly shows an error was made when the applicant's HOR address was listed differently on enlistment contracts completed between 1990 and 1999 and that a temporary residence rather than the...
