BOARD DATE: 11 December 2012
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20120008874
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 that her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) dated 28 February 1994 be corrected to show in block 7b that her Home of Record (HOR) was 237 Schermerhorn Street, Schenectady, New York 12304 and that block 12a be corrected to show that she entered active duty on 5 October 1989.
2. The applicant states that the Board approves of the changes in a letter dated 13 January 2012. She also states that the DD Form 214 requires that a complete address be entered in block 7b if it is known.
3. The applicant provides a copy of a 13 January 2012 letter from the Board and copies of her accession and discharge orders.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant was appointed as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve on 1 April 1985.
2. She was ordered to active duty on 5 October 1989 in the rank of captain for a period of 3 years. A review of her official records shows no indication of the applicants home of record. However, it does show that her father lived at 237 Schermerhorn Street, Schenectady, New York 12304 at the time.
3. She completed her training and was transferred to Germany where she remained until she was honorably released from active duty (REFRAD) on 28 February 1994 under the early release program voluntary separation incentive program. She had served 4 years, 4 months, and 24 days of active service and 4 years, 6 months, and 4 days of prior inactive service.
4. Her DD Form 214 issued at the time of her REFRAD shows in block 7b that her HOR was New York and in block 12a that she entered active duty this period on 850401. It also shows that her mailing address after separation was her fathers address.
5. The applicant applied to the Board requesting that her DD Form 214 be corrected to show that she entered active duty on 5 October 1989. The Board approved her request on 12 January 2012 (Docket # AR20110020088) `and issued a DD Form 215 to reflect a changed to the date she entered active duty. Accordingly, the issue of the date in block 12a has already been addressed by the Board and will not be discussed further in these proceedings.
6. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) serves as the authority for the preparation of the DD Form 214. It provides, in pertinent part, that the complete address will be entered in block 7b (Home of Record) if known.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. Although the applicants HOR is not recorded in her official records, it is reasonable to presume that she used her fathers address as her HOR at the time because it is also the address she provided as her contact address after her REFRAD.
2. Accordingly, her 28 February 1994DD Form 214 should be corrected to show that her HOR in block 7b was 237 Schermerhorn Street, Schenectady, New York 12304.

The applicant requests correction of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending 18 April 2013 and DD Form 4 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document) to show her home of record (HOR) as Texas. The applicant states her mailing address was entered as the HOR on both her enlistment contract and her DD Form 214.

The applicant requests that her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), dated 28 February 1994, be corrected to reflect in block 12a that she entered active duty on 5 October 1989 instead of 1 April 1985. On 13 October 1998, she was again ordered to active duty in the rank of major for a period of 3 years and she has remained on active duty.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120001730
A DD Form 214 shows the applicant entered active duty on 7 January 2005, she was honorably REFRAD on 6 February 2006 based on completion of required active service. The evidence of record also shows the applicant had continuous service as a member of the USAR from 31 January 2000 through the date she was REFRAD on 6 February 2006. b. Thus, records show the applicant's HOR was incorrectly recorded on her orders when she was ordered to active duty in support of OEF on 7 January 2005.

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...
