RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00695

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed to reflect Hallandale Beach, 
Florida.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His home of record address in New York reflects the residence in 
which he resided as a child, prior to joining the Air Force.  
Since joining he has seldom returned to this location.  His 
immediate family has a residence in Florida and it is this 
location both he and his spouse spend the majority of their time 
when visiting.  Furthermore, he claims Florida as his state of 
residency and holds a Florida driver’s license.  As such, should 
he elect to return to his home of record upon separation from 
the Air Force, returning to this location would greatly reduce 
potential hardship for himself and his spouse.

In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his 
DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, DD Form 1966, 
Record of Military Processing, Leave and Earning Statement and 
proof of Florida Driver’s License.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 13 Jul 
05.  His DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, lists 
3801 Hudson Manor Ter #3C, Bronx, New York 10463-1115 as his 
Home of Record.  

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandums prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibit C 
and D.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPS recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  In accordance with the Joint Federal 
Travel Regulation, Volume 1, Appendix A, any correction must be 
fully justified and the home must be the actual home of the 
member upon entering the service, and not a different place 
selected for the member’s convenience.  Appendix A states “Only 
if a break in service exceeds one full day may the applicant 
change his HOR”.   

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/JA recommends denial indicating the applicant failed to 
prove any material error or injustice.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/JA evaluation is at Exhibit D.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 22 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit E).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.


THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

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 opinions and 
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility (OPR) and adopt their 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.
