	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.  

	Mr. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. John N. Slone		Chairperson	
	Mr. Edwin S. Castle		Member	
	Mr. Calvin M. Fowler		Member	

	The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
                records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

FINDINGS:

1.  The applicant has exhausted or the Board has waived the requirement for exhaustion of all administrative remedies afforded by existing law or regulations.

2.  The applicant requests that his home of record (HOR) as shown on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected.
He states that his DD Form 214 has the incorrect city listed as his HOR.  By letter dated 14 July 2000, he indicates the complete address for his HOR.

3.  The applicant’s military records show that he entered active duty on 9 June 1971.  Special Orders 111, Department of the Army dated 9 June 1971 show his HOR as Warren, NJ.  He retired on 1 September 1999.  His DD Form 214 shows his HOR as Watchung Hills, NJ  06070.

4.  Army Regulation 600-8-104 prescribes instructions for preparing the Personnel Qualification Records, to include the Officer Record Brief (ORB).  In pertinent part it states that the source document for the home of record entry on the ORB will be the active duty letter or order.

5.  The DD Form 214, item 7b will be completed by entering the member’s home of record at time of entry (city and state, or complete address if known.)

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The Board concludes that an error occurred in this case.  The evidence provided shows that at the time the applicant entered active duty his HOR was Warren, NJ.  In addition, he provides the complete address for his HOR.

2.  In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the applicant’s DD Form 214, item 7b be corrected to show his HOR as ___ Warren, NJ  07060.
