RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03977 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Home of Record (HOR) be changed to reflect St Augustine, Florida (FL) rather than Matthews, North Carolina (NC). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: The HOR listed on his separation orders reflects Matthews, NC. Matthews, NC is not his HOR. He was working in that area when he enlisted. He was never informed that he needed to provide his HOR rather than his place of entry (POE). The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 13 Oct 09, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the Regular Air Force. The DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, reflects his HOR as Matthews, North Carolina. On 4 Dec 14, the applicant was honorably discharged. He enlisted in the Air National Guard (ANG) on 5 Dec 14 and the DD Form 4 executed with this enlistment reflected his HOR as Orange Park, FL. The applicant is currently serving in the ANG in the grade of staff sergeant (E-5). AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. After reviewing the documentation presented and the applicant’s military personnel record, there is no evidence to warrant changing the applicant’s HOR. The DD Form 4 is the source document for HOR and place of entry (POE). The Joint Federal travel Regulation (JFTR) defines the HOR as the place recorded as the home of the individual when reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted remains the same as that recorded when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty. The HOR can only be changed if there is a break in service of at least one full day. The HOR is listed by the individual upon entering military service, not a location where the individual is later assigned or a location selected for convenience. A correction to the HOR must be fully justified. The domicile or legal residency may change, but the HOR will not. The AFPC Enlisted Accessions Branch confirmed the applicant initialed the DD Form 4 which lists Matthews, NC 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 23 Feb 15 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.
