MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION

	IN THE CASE OF:   

	BOARD DATE:           3 May 2000                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2000040806

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

	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Raymond V. O’Connor, Jr.		Chairperson	
	Mr. John H. Kern		Member	
	Mr. Ernest W. Lutz, Jr.		Member	

	The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date.  In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

	The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

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

APPLICANT REQUESTS:  That his home of record be changed from Oklahoma to Arizona.

APPLICANT STATES:  That he recently changed his home of residence to Arizona.  He provides no supporting evidence.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  The applicant's military records are not available.  The information contained herein was obtained from his DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document.

The applicant enlisted in the U. S. Army Reserve (Delayed Entry Program ) on  16 December 1993.  That document shows his place of enlistment as Oklahoma City, OK and his home of record as Atoka, OK.

Army Regulation 601-280 prescribes criteria for the Army Retention program.  In pertinent part, it provides instructions for completing the DD Form 4 series.  It defines the term “Home of Record” as the place recorded as the home of the person when he/she entered into the current tour of active duty.  This cannot be changed unless there is a break in service of at least one full day.

DISCUSSION:  Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

1.  In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust.  The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy the aforementioned requirement.

2.  Presumably the applicant’s address at the time he first entered active duty was the same as it was when he enlisted in the U. S. Army Reserve (Delayed Entry Program), i. e., Atoka, OK.  Since it appears he never had a break in service, by regulation Atoka, OK will remain his home of record unless and until he has a break in service.

3.  In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.

DETERMINATION:  The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
