RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02082

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed to Branson, Missouri.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She enlisted in the military in 2002 from Los Angeles, 
California.  Her family moved to Branson, Missouri in 2004 and 
she has no family, friends, home, or next of kin in or near 
California.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant commenced her service in the Regular Air Force on 
19 Nov 02.  According to her DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment 
Document Armed Forces of the United States, her (HOR) is listed 
as Laguna Niguel, CA.  The applicant is currently serving on 
active duty in the grade of Technical Sergeant (E-6).  

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/DPSIPE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  The DD Form 4, Enlistment/ 
Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States is the 
source document for Home of Record (HOR) and Place of Entry 
(POE).  The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), volume 1, 
Appendix A1, part 1, states, “The place recorded as the home of 
the individual when reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted 
remains the same as that recorded when commission, 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.  AFPC Enlisted 
Accessions Branch confirmed that her initialed DD Form 4/1, 
dated 21 Jun 02, as well as subsequent enlistment documents 
listed Laguna Niguel, CA  92677 as her 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 4 Aug 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.  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.
