Upon commissioning she attempted to change her HOR, but the change was never updated in her records.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 2 Feb 95.

On 30 Sep 15, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 20 years, 7 months, and 29 days of active service.   

DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, 22 Nov 94, reflects HOR as Colorado Springs, CO.  

DD Form 4/3 of the above contract, dated 2 Feb 95, completed after delayed entry, reflects POE as Oklahoma City, OK.

AF Form 766, Extended Active Duty (EAD) Order, dated 6 Jan 99, reflects change to HOR as Chicago, IL.

DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, separation date 27 Mar 99, reflects Item 7.b. HOR as Chicago, IL, and Item 7.a. POE as San Antonio, TX.

DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214, dated 19 Jun 17, corrects the DD Form 214 for 27 Mar 99, to reflect Item 7.a. POE from San Antonio, TX, to Oklahoma City, OK.

Air Force Instruction 36-3202, Separation Documents, Table 4, reflects:

a.  Rule 9, HOR:  For Regular AF airmen, the home of record shown on the latest DD Form 4-1.  For Regular officers use the address on the application for appointment. 

b.  Rule 8, POE:  For Regular AF airmen this is the enlistment office where the member entered the AF on his EAD date.  The place of entry should never change during continuous period of AD.  For all others, the place from which ordered to AD.

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/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice.  

An officer who received a commission from an enlisted grade may use the HOR in the enlistment papers (if recorded differently at time of commission and called to active duty) if they can certify erroneous designation of a HOR at time of commission.  However, per directive, the applicant may change their HOR upon commissioning.  A review of the EAD order, reflects “Chicago IL”.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR 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 31 Jan 17 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.
