Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed from North Dakota to 
Germany. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

When she entered the military, she listed Grand Forks, North 
Dakota as her HOR because she lived there with her ex-husband 
who was stationed at Grand Forks AFB. Her real HOR is where her 
records reside in Germany. After her retirement, she would like 
to return to Germany to her immediate family. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

retired from the Regular Air Force in the grade of technical 
sergeant on 1 Apr 12.

the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence 
of an error or injustice. The applicant’s records reflect North 
Dakota as the state in which she lived on 19 Mar 92 when she 
entered the Air Force. Grand Forks, ND has been consistently 
listed throughout her career as her HOR. The Joint Federal 
Travel Regulation (JFTR) for Uniformed Service Members states 
the HOR is the place recorded as the home of the individual when 
commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a 
tour of active duty. Therefore, the applicant’s HOR is and 
should remain Grand Forks, North Dakota. 


 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPE evaluation, with attachment, 
is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 27 Mar 12 for review and comment within 30 days. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit D). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

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

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took 
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion 
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. 
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis upon which to recommend favorable action on this 
application. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
