RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01941

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed to “South Carolina”.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His current HOR reflects where he attended Reserve Officers 
Training Corps (ROTC) and has no bearing on where he considers 
home.  His wife is a South Carolina resident and they own a home 
there.  South Carolina is where he intends to retire/live post 
Air Force.

As an officer he is never afforded the opportunity to modify his 
HOR as he is not required to reenlist after his initial 
commitment expires.  This system forces officers into 
requirements that are not reflective of reality.

In support of his request, the applicant provides copy of his AF 
Form 4/1, Enlistment / Reenlistment Document, dated 31 Aug 00 in 
which he joined the Air Force Reserve.  “Sacramento, California” 
is listed as his HOR.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 1 Feb 
03.

On 29 Sep 14, the applicant was furnished an Honorable 
discharge, and was credited with 11 years, 7 months, and 29 days 
of active service.   

The applicant’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge 
from Active Duty and AF Form 100, Request and Authorization for 
Separation, both reflects “Vacaville, California” as his HOR.

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


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPS recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  While a service member’s domicile or 
legal residence may change as they relocate during their 
military career, their HOR will not change.  In accordance with 
the Joint Federal Travel Regulation, Volume I, 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.  
Additionally, Appendix A states “Only if a break in service 
exceeds one full day may the member change the HOR”.

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 12 Nov 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 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 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.
