RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04873 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: The home of record on his DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, be changed from Eugene Oregon to Gold Beach, Oregon. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: When he applied for the delayed entry program, his recruiter urged him to write an address in the local area. He informed his recruiter he currently lived with his parents in Gold Beach, Oregon and no longer lived at a local address but he could supply an old address if necessary. He was unaware the address would affect his Traffic Management Office (TMO), shipment upon his separation. In support of his request, the applicant submits copies of his DD Form 4/1 and SGLV 8286, Servicemember’s Group Life Insurance Election and Certificate. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 5 February 2008. On 4 October 2013, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 5 years and 8 months of active service. The applicant’s DD Form 4/1 indicates he accomplished a delayed entry in the Air Force Reserve on 10 September 2007, at the Portland, Oregon Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS), and reflects his home of record as an address in Eugene, Oregon. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. DPSIPE states after a thorough review of the military personnel record and other supporting documentation, there does not appear to be an error or injustice in determining the applicant’s home of record, which justifies a change. The DD Form 4/1 is the source document for Home of Record (HOR) and Place of Entry (POE). The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), volume 1, appendix A 1, part 1, 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 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.” 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. 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 2 May 2014, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). To date, a response has not been received. 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.
