The Board, consisting of , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 11 May 2021 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, relevant portions of Petitioner’s naval record, 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.

In accordance with reference (b), Home of Record is the place recorded as the Service member’s home when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered to active duty. If there is a break in service of more than one full day, then the Service member may change the home of record. If there is a break in service of less than one full day, then the Service member may not change the home of record. A. A Service member may correct the home of record if, through a bona fide error, the place originally named at the time of entry into the Service was not the actual home. The correction must be justified, and the corrected home of record must be the Service member’s actual home upon entering the Service, not a different place selected for the Service member's convenience. B. If an enlisted Service member receives a commission or warrant and the home of record is changed to the place where serving when commissioned or warranted, then the Service member may receive allowances to the enlistment home of record upon separation or release from active duty. The Service member must certify that the home of record was changed in error. If an enlisted Service member changes the home of record to the place where the Service member receives a commission or warrant, then the Service member may later certify that the home of record was changed in error, and may receive allowances to the enlistment home of record upon separation or release from active duty. Place from which Called or Ordered to Active Duty is known as PLEAD. PLEAD is the place where an active component Service member enlisted, was commissioned, or was appointed. For a reserve component member, the PLEAD is where the member enlisted, was commissioned, or was appointed for immediate active duty. A. If a reserve component member is not enlisted, commissioned, or appointed for immediate active duty, then the address where the active duty order is delivered is the PLEAD. B. If there is a break in active duty service that exceeds one full day, then the PLEAD changes to the place where the member reenters active duty. C. If a civilian college student, midshipman, or cadet has no prior service, the PLEAD is the academic institution where the Service member attained a military status or where the Service member entered the Service. d.
