RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2017-05149

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) address be changed to Mary Esther, FL, rather than Stuart, OK.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

When he enlisted in the Air Force Reserve in 2005 the HOR used was his parents’ address.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 8 June 2005.

The applicant’s DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, signed by the applicant on 8 June 2005, shows Stuart, OK, as his HOR.

The governing instruction 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 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 note that the HOR is 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 applicant’s DD Form 4 shows Stuart, OK, as his HOR, and he has had no break in service.  Therefore, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS 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.
