RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:				DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2015-04286

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX				COUNSEL:  NONE

							HEARING DESIRED:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Missouri to Texas on the following forms:

a. AF Form 899, Request and Authorization for Permanent Change of Station – Military 

b. DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States

c. DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing – Armed Forces of the United States (DD Form 1966, with pen and ink changes, has been accepted and filed in applicant’s military personnel record and is a matter of record)

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The HOR indicated on the aforementioned forms is incorrect.  She attempted to correct the error on her DD Form 1966 by striking through the incorrect information and entering the correct Texas address.  She realized her HOR had not been changed as requested after she received her AF Form 899 reassigning her to another duty station.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 27 July 2015, as an officer trainee and was separated on 1 October 2015.  Her narrative reason for separation is “Commissioned or Warrant in Same Branch of Service.”

According to Special Order AB-001 dated 2 October 2015, the applicant was appointed as a Regular officer of the Air Force in the grade of second lieutenant (O-1) effective 2 October 2015.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR), which are included at Exhibits C and D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFRS/RSO recommends granting the applicant’s requests, indicating there is evidence of an error or injustice.  In accordance with the Joint Federal Travel Regulation, HOR is defined as “The place recorded as the individual's home when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted or ordered into a tour of active duty.”  The applicant’s HOR was mistakenly listed as her temporary address when entering the Air Force; therefore, her HOR should be corrected as requested.

A complete copy of the AFRS/RSO evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DP2LT concurs with AFRS/RSO and recommends granting the applicant’s requests.  The applicant’s DD Form 1966, with pen and ink changes, has been accepted and filed in her military personnel record and is a matter of record.  This document does not require correction.  In addition to correcting the applicant’s DD Form 4 and DD Form 899, the HOR and Place of Entry on her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, should also be corrected.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DP2LT evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 24 August 2016, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E).  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.  Sufficient 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 and agree with the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force OPRs, to include the correction of the DD Form 214, and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant's records be corrected as indicated below.
