Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed written application, enclosure (1), with this Board requesting, in effect, the applicable naval record be corrected to show Petitioner’s Home of Record (HOR) was shown on his enlistment documents as Knoxville, TN.

2.	The Board, consisting of Messrs.

Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.

3.	The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice, finds as
	follows:	-

a.	Prior to filing enclosure (1) with this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies afforded under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.

c.	Petitioner then moved to Knoxville, TN and finished his processing for enlisting in the US Navy for active duty. He enlisted for active duty at the US Recruiting District, Nashville, TN 37228-0000 on 17 May 1999. Enclosure (3)

d.	On the date individuals are enlisted for active duty they are given the opportunity to update the information that was given on the date they enlisted into the DEP. The date Petitioner entered active duty he changed his HOR from Kent, WA to Knoxville, TN.

e.	The DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing — Armed Forces of the United States is completed by the individual. Section I - Personal Data listed Kent WA as his HOR; however, when he updated the form on 17 May 1999 he made the entry “See Sec V”. Item 4 — Home of Record reads “same as 3”. The DD Form 1966, Section V — Recertification, Item 34 is annotated as Enclosure (4).

f.	In correspondence attached as enclosure (5), the office having cognizance over the subject matter involved in Petitioner’s application recommended denial, commenting that the member’s service record does not support the fact the was the home of record at the time he reported for active duty on 17 May 1999. His record shows as the home of record.

CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, notwithstanding the comments contained in enclosure (5), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the requested relief. In this connection, the Board found that Petitioner enlisted on 17 May 1999 for active duty in. He updated his HOR by using the DD Form 1966 and made changes that should reflect his HOR as. The purpose of Section V on the DD Form 1966 is to update the record prior to entering active duty. The Petitioner did update his record; however, it was not posted to the record.
