RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-00910
		
			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be corrected to reflect Yokota Air 
Base, Japan.



APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His DD Form 4/1, Enlistment / Reenlistment Document, correctly 
identifies his HOR; however, when his Air Force Reserve Officer 
Training Corps Detachment created his Extended Active Duty (EAD) 
Order, they failed to input his HOR.  

In support of his request, the applicant submits his DD Form 4/1 
and EAD Order.

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



STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Air Force Reserve on 1 Sep 
04.  His DD Form 4/1, Enlistment / Reenlistment Document listed 
Yokota Air Base, Japan as his HOR.  

The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 30 Apr 06.  

On 30 Apr 14, the applicant was furnished an Honorable 
discharge, and was credited with 8 years and 1 day of active 
service.

The applicant’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge 
from Active Duty, dated 30 Apr 14 listed Tallahasse, Florida as 
his HOR.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, 
extracted from the applicant’s military records, are described 
in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility (OPR), which are included at Exhibit C.



AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPS recommends approval.  After reviewing the 
applicant’s military personnel record it does in fact reveal his 
HOR was Yokota Air Base, Japan.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/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 22 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  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 timely filed.

3. Sufficient 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 and 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 been the victim of an error.  Therefore, we 
recommend the applicant's records be corrected as indicated 
below.



THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to the applicant be corrected to show that his 
Home of Record reflect “Yokota Air Base, Japan”.
