BOARD DATE: 15 March 2012
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110019423
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 correction of item 7b (Home of Record at Time of Entry) of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show an address in Pewaukee, Wisconsin.
2. The applicant states:
* he was living in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, when he enlisted
* he needs his DD Form 214 to reflect his home of record for entitlement to State of Wisconsin veterans' benefits
3. The applicant provides:
* DD Form 4 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States)
* DD Form 214
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant's enlistment document shows he enlisted at the Military Entrance Processing Station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His home of record is listed as Pewaukee, Wisconsin.
2. He enlisted in the Regular Army on 5 July 2006 for a period of 5 years and served as a military policeman. On 4 July 2011, he was released from active duty and transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve Control Group (Reinforcement) to complete his remaining service obligation.
3. Item 7b of his DD Form 214 shows an address in Newnan, Georgia.
4. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) establishes the policies and procedures for completion and distribution of the DD Form 214. It states that a Soldier's initial enlistment contract or appointment document is the source for entering data in item 7a (Place of Entry onto Active Duty) and item 7b. It also states that "home of record" is the place recorded as the home of record of the Soldier when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, or ordered to a tour of active duty.
5. Army Regulation 601-280 (Total Army Retention Program) defines the term "home of record" as the place recorded as the home of the person when he/she entered into the current tour of active duty.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant contends his home of record is Pewaukee, Wisconsin. His enlistment document supports this contention.
2. Since the governing regulation states the enlistment contract is the source for entering data in item 7b and his enlistment document shows his home of record was Pewaukee, Wisconsin, it would be appropriate to correct item 7b of his DD Form 214 to show this address.

The applicant requests correction of his records to change his home of record (HOR) from Rochester, NY to Madison, WI. The author requested a change of address from Madison, WI to Rochester, NY.

As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by showing his home of record as 1970 W. Melvina Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and providing him with a correction to his DD Form 214.

The applicant requests, in effect, correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show his home of record (HOR) as "Superior, WI." The applicant listed his HOR on his enlistment documents as King Salmon, AK, despite residing at the time in Superior, WI. Therefore, barring further explanation and evidence that shows his HOR was incorrectly represented at the time of his enlistment, there is an insufficient basis to grant the requested relief at this time.

The applicant requests that his home of record (HOR) be changed to an address in Kenosha, WI. All documents in the applicants service personnel records show his HOR as an address in Granite City, IL. There is no evidence in the applicant's available military service records that show his HOR as Kenosha, WI.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110005121
There is no authority to change the HOR as officially recorded at the time of entry into military service. He has not provided documentation and his record contains no evidence to show his address was anything other than the Jeannette, PA address listed in his enlistment contract. As a result, the Board recommends denial of so much of the application that pertains to correcting items 7b and 19a of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 10 July 2006 to show the entry xxxx W. xxth Street,...
