RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:				DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-05344

								COUNSEL: NONE

								HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

His home of record (HOR) on his latest DD Form 4/1, 
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United 
States, be corrected to reflect San Antonio, Texas (TX) and his 
place of enlistment/reenlistment be corrected to reflect 
Randolph AFB, TX.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The service representative for the Mission Support Section 
incorrectly input his residence and installation at the time of 
his reenlistment.  It was recommended that he review this 
document before retiring.  He should have had this corrected 
prior to signing the document.  

In support of his appeal, the applicant submits the DD Form 4/1, 
DD Form 4/2, AF IMT 901, Reenlistment Eligibility Annex to 
DD Form 4, Enlisted Surf and his W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a member of the Air Force serving in the grade 
of master sergeant.  His original DD Form 4/1, 
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United 
States, reflects Temple Hills, Maryland as his home of record at 
the time of his enlistment.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial.  AFI 36-2608, Military Personnel 
Records System, states the DD Form 4/1 is the source document 
for the home of record.  The applicant’s records reflect 
Maryland as the home of record/place of enlistment from his 
first enlistment dated 15 March 1993.  The most recent 
enlistment is 4 June 2007; he has been in the Air Force for 
19 years.  

The Joint Federal Travel Regulation for Uniformed Service 
Members Appendix A states the home of record is the place 
recorded as the home of the individual when commissioned, 
appointed, enlisted, inducted or ordered into a tour of active 
duty.  Any correction made to a member’s home of record must be 
fully justified and the home, as corrected, must be the member’s 
actual home upon entering the service, and not a different place 
selected for the member’s convenience. 

There is no error or justification that warrants a change in the 
member’s home of record.  

The complete 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 11 January 2013, for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, this office has received 
no response.

________________________________________________________________

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 error or injustice.  The 
applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, he has provided 
no evidence which would lead us to believe his home of record or 
his place of entry currently reflected in his records were 
incorrectly recorded at the time he initially came on active 
duty.  Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice.  In the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting 
the relief sought in this application.

________________________________________________________________


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

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