IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 10 July 2008
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20080002450
THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:
1. Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).
2. Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).
THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests, in effect, correction of item 7b (Home of Record) on his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to reflect his Home of Record (HOR) as Fort Rucker, Alabama.
2. The applicant states that he was living in Alabama at the time of his entry on active duty.
3. The applicant provides a copy of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) and his Officer Record Brief (ORB).
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant completed a DA Form 61 (Application for Appointment) in September 1989 which indicates his permanent address as Medina, Ohio. Block 21 on his appointment application shows he was scheduled to graduate from Auburn University in Alabama in June 1990. His DA Form 597-3 (Army Senior Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Scholarship Cadet Contract) shows his address of record as Medina, Ohio.
2. Headquarters, U.S. Army Third Region, Fort Riley, Kansas orders Number 130-4-A-593, dated 10 July 1990, ordered the applicant to active duty for assignment to Company D, 1st Battalion, 145th Aviation Regiment, Fort Rucker, Alabama with a reporting date of 31 August 1990. These orders show his HOR as Medina, Ohio.
3. After having had prior enlisted service, the applicant was appointed as a commissioned officer on 30 August 1990. His memorandum of appointment shows his address as Medina, Ohio.
4. Section IV (Personal/Family Data) on the applicants ORB, dated 5 March 2007, shows his HOR at his entry on active duty (EAD) as OHIO.
5. Headquarters, Fort McPherson Orders Number 073-0002, dated 14 March 2007, released the applicant from active duty for retirement on 31 December 2007 and placed him on the retired list on the following date. These orders show his HOR as MEDINA OH.
6. Item 7b on the applicants DD Form 214 shows his HOR as MEDINA OHIO.
7. Army Regulation 635-5 prescribes the separation documents prepared for Soldiers upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Army. It establishes standardized policy for the preparation of the DD Form 214. It provides a brief, clear-cut record of active Army service at the time of release from active duty, retirement or discharge. In pertinent part, it directs that the HOR at time of entry will be entered in Block 7b of the DD Form 214. This regulation states that the street, city, state and zip code will be entered. HOR is the place recorded as the home of the individual when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into the relevant tour of active duty. 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 relevant tour of active duty unless there is a break in service of more than one full day.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant was appointed on 30 August 1990. At that time, the city and state of his HOR were recorded as Medina, Ohio. His appointment application, ROTC scholarship contract, and his active duty orders show his HOR as Medina, Ohio.
2. The preponderance of evidence shows the applicants HOR was Medina, Ohio at the time of his entry on active duty in August 1990. Therefore, his DD Form 214 correctly reflects his HOR as Medina, Ohio in item 7b.

The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), ending 30 April 2011, to show his home of record (HOR) as Texas. His active duty order clearly shows his HOR as Englewood, Ohio. His HOR is correctly documented in his military record based on his active duty order and there is no basis upon which to grant the requested relief.

Although a copy of the applicant's appointment order is not contained in her available file, the orders that brought her on active duty as a commissioned officer show her HOR as Columbus, GA.

The applicant requests correction of her final DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show her Place of Entry Into Active Duty (Place EAD) was San Antonio, TX, not Miami, FL. The applicant states that her initial DD Form 214 shows her Place EAD was Miami, FL, which is correct.

The applicant requests a change of his home of record (HOR) from "North Carolina" to "Philippines."

The applicant requests his home of record (HOR) on his Officer Record Brief (ORB) be corrected to show Eugene, Oregon (OR). The applicant states he enlisted and entered active duty in Oregon not Alabama. Since there is no indication the applicant ever requested a change of his HOR or had a break in service to allow for such a change, it is appropriate to correct his record to show his HOR as Eugene, OR.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140011851
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) as follows: * Item 7a (Place of Entry on Active Duty), from "Massillon, OH" to "Austin, TX" * Item 7b (Home of Record (HOR)), from XXX Pershing Avenue SE, North Canton, OH, 44720" to "XXXX Balcones Club Apartments, # XXX, Austin, TX, 78750" * Item 8a (Last Duty Assignment and Major Command), from Joint Force Headquarters (-) Additional TDA GB to Joint Force Headquarters, TX * Item 19a...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120009740
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show his home of record (HOR) as Tarpley, Texas. The applicant contends item 7b of his DD Form 214 should be changed to show his HOR is "Tarpley, TX" because his HOR was in Texas when he entered military service. Thus, the evidence of record shows that the applicant's HOR was correctly recorded on his DD Form 214 when he retired from active duty on 28 February 2005.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080004032
The applicant states, in effect, that his home of record is listed as Alabama and should have been Florida and that he needs this error corrected for tax purposes. The evidence shows that the applicant's place of enlistment, on 26 January 1965, was listed as "Montgomery, Alabama." There is no evidence to show that an error was made in recording his HOR at the time of his separation; therefore, there is no basis to correct his records as requested.
