RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04734 COUNSEL:	NONE
HEARING DESIRED:	NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Home of Record (HOR) should be San Antonio, Texas.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was not available to sign his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, and didn’t realize the error at the time of his retirement. He recently noticed the error when asked for a copy of his DD Form 214.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 18 May 88, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.
According to the applicant’s DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/ Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, at the time of entry, his HOR was recorded as Chicago, IL.

On 30 Nov 10, the applicant was relieved from active duty and retired, effective 1 Dec 10, and was credited with 22 years,
6 months, and 13 days of active service.
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 Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR) identifies the HOR as 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. Only if a break in service exceeds one full day, may the member change the HOR. 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). After a thorough review of the member’s military personnel record and other supporting documentation, the applicant’s DD Form 4, dated 18 Feb 88, lists Chicago, IL, as his HOR. There appears to be no error or injustice in determining the applicant’s HOR justifying a change; therefor it is recommended to deny the applicant’s request.

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 evaluations was forwarded to the applicant on 16 Jan 15 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:
After careful consideration of applicant’s request and the available evidence of record, we find the application untimely. Applicant did not file within three years after the alleged error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-2603. Applicant has not shown a plausible reason for the delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record raises issues of error or injustice which require resolution on the merits. Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant’s failure to file in a timely manner.

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as untimely.
