RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF				DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2018-01516

XXXXXXXXXXXXX				COUNSEL: NONE

							HEARING: NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His home of record (HOR) be changed from Danville, VA to Miami, FL.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He is not a resident of Danville, VA, he is now a resident of Miami, FL.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is an Air Force master sergeant.    

For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the guidance at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2LT recommends denying the application.  

According to the Joint Travel Regulation, Appendix A, 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.  Only if a break in service exceeds one full day may the member change the HOR.  DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, Item 3, Home of Record, reflects Danville, VA.  The applicant has not had a break in service.  Based on the applicant’s records, his HOR is correct.

The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 12 Sep 18 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response. 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES:

1.  The application was timely filed.

2.  The applicant exhausted all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

3.  After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion that the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFPC/DP2LT and finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.  

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:  

The applicant be informed the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.
