RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02696

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed to Daly City, California.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His family has relocated since his initial enlistment.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of Staff Sergeant.

On 13 Sep 05, the applicant signed and initialed his DD Form 4, 
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United 
States, which reflects Largo, Florida 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/DPSIPE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  

The DD Form 4 is the source document for HOR.  The Joint Federal 
Travel Regulation (JFTR), Volume 1, Appendix A1, 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.  

They confirmed that the applicant initialed his DD Form 4, dated 
13 Sep 05, which lists Largo, Florida as his 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 17 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.
