COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING: NO

APPLICANT’S REQUEST. That her Home of Record (HOR) be changed to Cleveland, Ohio, from Fort Jackson, South Carolina.

APPLICANT’S CONTENTION. She joined the Air Force in South Carolina; however, she never had residency there. She claims taxes and lists Ohio on all of her other documents. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS. On 1 Sep 11, the applicant recorded her HOR on DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document – Armed Forces of the United States, as Fort Jackson, South Carolina.   The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), volume 1, Appendix A1, part 1, dated    1 Feb 14, states, “the place recorded as the home of the individual when reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted 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. Only if a break in service exceeds one full day, may the member change the HOR.” According to the applicant’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, issued in conjunction with her 28 Nov 17 release from active duty, her HOR is South Carolina. For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B.
