On 10 October 2015, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with four years of active service.  

On 11 October 2015, the applicant entered the Air National Guard.  

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.  Appendix A of the Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR) for Uniformed Service Members indicates the HOR is the place recorded as the home of the individual when reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted and remains the same as that recorded when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty, unless there is a break in service of more than one full day.  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 and any correction must be fully justified.  AFPC Enlisted Accessions Branch confirmed that the applicant initialed the DD Form 4, dated 11 October 2011, listing Taylorsville, UT, as his HOR.  As such, there was no error or justification that warrants a change in the applicant’s HOR.  

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

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 4 April 2016 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.
