His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from              to       .
_________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant contracted his enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 12 March 2003.  DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, reflects                , as his HOR.

EXAMINER'S NOTE: HOR is defined as the place recorded as the home of the individual at the time they enlisted, were commissioned, or initially ordered to active duty.  It is recorded in the military personnel record to determine transportation entitlements upon separation.  The HOR can be changed only if there has been a break in service of one full day (inactive reserve time is not counted as a break in service) or a bona fide error was made in recording the information given by the member.  

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  Applicant’s contentions are duly noted.  The applicant is requesting HOR be changed to his permanent address because the HOR on file is incorrect.  The applicant has not provided evidence which indicates the HOR currently reflected in his records was incorrectly recorded at the time he initially entered active duty.  However, the Board recommends the requested relief be granted based on the fact the applicant is requesting a change from one city to another in the same state, therefore, it would not be any added cost to the Air Force once the applicant leaves active service.  Therefore, the recommends the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that Block 3 of DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, dated 12 March 2002, be amended to reflected Home of Record address as             , rather than             .
