IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-04871

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Washington, Missouri, to Las Vegas, Nevada.  
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His family moved from Missouri to Nevada and he plans to live with his family upon separation from the Air Force.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 7 Nov 08, the applicant initialed/signed the DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, Delayed Entry/Enlistment 
Program (DEP), listing his HOR as “Washington, (Franklin) Missouri.”

On 17 Feb 09, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force. 

On 1 Nov 13, the applicant was furnished an Honorable discharge and credited with 4 years, 8 months, and 15 days of active service.  According to his DD 
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, his HOR at time of entry is reflected as “Washington (Franklin) MO.”

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibits C and D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice.  The DD Form 4 is the source document for HOR and Place of Entry (POE).  In accordance with Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR) Volume 1, Appendix A1, part 1, the place recorded as the home of the individual when reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted remains the same as that recorded when commissioned, appointed, enlisted or inducted, or ordered into the 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 the member change the HOR (applicant’s records revealed no break in service).  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.  AFPC confirmed that the applicant initialed the DD Form 4/1 dated 7 Nov 08, Washington, (Franklin), Missouri as his HOR.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPE 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 Jan 14 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 of injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.
________________________________________________________________

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.
