RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2016-01744 

						COUNSEL: 

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Parker (Douglas), CO to Denver, CO.  

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

There is no error; however, she would like her HOR to be updated prior to her separation.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 26 July 2011 and was discharged on 15 June 2016.  She was credited with 4 years, 10 months, and 20 days of active duty service.

The applicant’s DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, and DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, reflect her HOR as Parker (Douglas), CO.  

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility, which is attached at Exhibit C.  

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2LT recommends denial and agrees with the applicant there is no error in her HOR.  The applicant’s original DD Form 4/1 and DD Form 214 reflect her HOR as Parker (Douglas), CO.  

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 a member change their HOR.  The HOR is the location identified by the individual upon entering the service, it is not a location where the individual is later assigned or a location selected for convenience or affiliation.  Domicile or legal residence may change but the HOR will not change.  

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 6 March 2017 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.
