11. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) at the time prescribed policy and procedural guidance relating to transition management. It consolidates the policies, principles of support, and standards of service regarding processing personnel for transition. Paragraph 5-6 provides detailed instructions for data required in each block of the DD Form 214. For Reserve Component Soldiers, the active duty orders for this period of service will list where the Soldier enters active duty (for example, home address, home station, mobilization station, Army installation, and so forth). For Reserve Component Soldiers, the active duty orders list the Soldier's home of record. 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.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant initially entered active duty on 1 February 2007 from XXXX W____ Place, Falls Church, VA, and his home of record was recorded as XXXX W____ Place, Falls Church, VA. He served on consecutive active duty orders until he retired on 30 November 2013. However, his orders show he entered his last period of active duty from XXXX S____ Drive, Killeen, TX, and his home of record was recorded as XXXX S____ Drive, Killeen, TX.
2. Army Regulation 635-5 provides that the active duty orders for this period of service list where the Soldier entered active duty and the Soldier's home of record.
3. Based on the foregoing evidence, item 7a and item 7b of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 30 November 2013 should be corrected to show he entered active duty from XXXX S____ Drive, Killeen, TX, and his home of record as XXXX S____ Drive, Killeen, TX.
