RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-03052

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NOT INDICATED 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home Of Record (HOR) be changed to Parrish, Alabama (AL).

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She no longer lives in Surprise, Arizona (AZ) and it should not be listed as her HOR.  

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 (E-5).

According to the applicant’s DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document – Armed Forces of the United States, executed on 9 Nov 09, “Surprise, AZ” was annotated as her 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, Volume I, 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 commissioned, 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, the member may 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.

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 10 Dec 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 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.
