RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02186 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His home of record (HOR) be corrected to reflect West Haven, Utah. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He owns a home in Utah and plans to retire there. He would like his home of record changed to reflect his Utah address. The applicant submits no supporting documentation. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is a member of the Air Force serving in the grade of captain. His DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, reflects Albuquerque, New Mexico as his home of record at the time of his enlistment. The New Mexico address is also reflected on the order that appointed him as a second lieutenant into the Air Force Reserves. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIPS recommends denial. The DD Form 4/1 is the source document for the home of record and place of entry. The Joint Federal Travel Regulation for Uniformed Service Members Appendix A, states the place recorded as the home of the individual when reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted remains the same as that recorded when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted or ordered into a tour of active duty unless there is a break in service of more than one full day. Only if a break in service exceeds one full day may a member change the HOR. The HOR is the location identified by the individual upon entering the service, not a location where the individual is later assigned or a location selected for convenience. A correction must be fully justified. Domicile or legal residence may change, but the HOR will not. The applicant initialed the DD Form 4/1 dated 25 August 2003 listing Albuquerque, New Mexico as his home of record. There is no error or justification that warrants a change in his home of record. The complete DPSIPS evaluation is at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 6 December 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. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2013-02186 in Executive Session on 6 February 2014, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
