AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. The applicant’s initial DD Form 
4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United 
States, dated 21 Jan 86 and confirmed on 3 Jun 86, reflects 
Oklahoma City MEPS as his place of entry. According to the 
governing instructions, a member’s initial DD Form 4 is the 
source document for Home of Record/POE. There was no evidence of 
an error or justification provided that warrants changing his 
POE. 

 

The complete DPSIPE evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 23 Oct 12 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this 
date, this office has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing 
law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We took notice 
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of 
the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Nevertheless, the 
Board would like to point-out that should the applicant provide 
documentation substantiating his home of record as San Antonio, 
the Board would be willing to reconsider his request. However, 
in the absence of such evidence, we find no basis to recommend 
granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
