RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 				DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-02304

XXXXXXXXXX					COUNSEL:  NONE

							HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Nevada to Wisconsin.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She joined the Air Force in Nevada; however, shortly after joining the Air Force, she moved to Wisconsin and would like her HOR to reflect the change.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant contracted her initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 27 November 2007.  Her DD Form 4, Enlistment - Reenlistment Document, reflects Nevada as his HOR.  She is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of staff sergeant (E-5).

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.  The DD Form 4 is the source document for HOR.  Joint Federal Travel Regulation Volume I, Appendix A1, Part 1, states in part that a HOR is the place recorded as the individual’s home when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty.  Any correction must be fully justified and the home, as corrected, must be the member’s actual home upon entering the Service, and not a different place selected for the member's convenience.  The applicant lived in Nevada from January 2006 to April 2007 and did not provide proof that she resided in Wisconsin on the date of her initial enlistment.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPE evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 17 November 2015, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 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 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 and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

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.
