RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2016-01157

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home of Record (HOR) address be corrected from Louisville, Kentucky to Dallas, Texas.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She moved to Louisville Kentucky with her mother where she lived for one year.  Her state of residence throughout her career has been Texas and now that she has retired she is moving back to Texas.  She has no family ties in Kentucky and does not consider it her HOR.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 1 Oct 90.

On 1 Oct 90, the applicant signed her initial DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, for enlistment in the Air Force, and in Block 3, Home of Record, she entered “Louisville, Kentucky.”  Additionally, the applicant signed subsequent DD Forms 4 on 14 Dec 93, 1 Dec 97, 10 Oct 05 and 29 Nov 12, upon reenlistments in the Air Force, and in Block 3, Home of Record, she entered “Louisville, Kentucky.” 

On 1 Sep 15, the applicant retired and was credited with 24 years and 11 months of active service.   

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/DP2LT recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice.  The Joint Federal Travel Regulation, Volume I, Appendix A1, defines HOR as: “The place recorded as the individual’s home when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty.”  Only if a break in service exceeds one full day may the member 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, nor a location selected for convenience or affiliation.  Domicile or legal residence may change, but the home of record will not.  The applicant signed her original DD Form 4, on 1 Oct 90 enlisting into the Regular Component of the Air Force and has had no break in service since her initial entry on Active Duty.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DP2LT 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 27 Dec 16 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 or 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.
