RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-01717 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed from XXXXXXXXXX to XXXXXXXXXX. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Her HOR was erroneously annotated in the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) as XXXXXXXXXX. As of 13 Oct 94, her HOR has been XXXXXXXXXX. In support of her appeal the applicant provides a copy of a statement from Financial Management Technician and an excerpt of AFM 65-116 VI, Defense Joint Military Pay System Active Component (DJMS-AC) FSO Procedures. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in Regular Air Force in the grade of lieutenant colonel (O-5). Special Order AD-42, dated 30 Mar 92, appointing the applicant to extended active duty reflects her HOR as XXXXXXXXXX. The Defense Joint Military System (DJMS) printout provided by the applicant and signed by the Financial Management Technician indicates the applicant has claimed as her place of residence since 1994. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIPS recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. After reviewing the documentation presented and the applicant’s military personnel record, there is no evidence to warrant changing the applicant’s HOR. The DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, is the source document for HOR and place of entry (POE). The Joint Federal travel Regulation (JFTR) defines the HOR as the place recorded as the home of the individual when reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted remains the same as that recorded when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty. It can only be changed if there is a break in service of at least one full day. The HOR is listed by the individual upon entering military service, not a location where the individual is later assigned or a location selected for convenience. A correction to the HOR must be fully justified. The domicile or legal residency may change, but the HOR will not. The AFPC Officer Accessions Branch confirmed the special order appointing her to extended active duty lists her HOR as . The DJMS printout reflects for state taxes; however, establishing residency for tax purposes is not correlated to the HOR. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPS 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 13 Dec 13 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).

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 an error or injustice to warrant changing the applicant’s HOR to . 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 (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
