RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02852 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her home of record (HOR) be changed from Anasco, Puerto Rico (PR) to Florida (FL). ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Her extended active duty order (EADORD) was prepared before coming onto active duty and it did not indicate her HOR. Therefore, her place of enlistment, Anasco, PR was annotated as her HOR. Although, she added Florida as her HOR when she came on active duty, her unit erroneously prepared her separation orders by using the HOR annotated on her EADORD. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 13 Jul 03. According to the applicant’s DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document – Armed Forces of the United States, executed on 4 Oct 11, “Anasco, PR” was annotated as her HOR. On 13 Jul 03, the applicant commenced her initial period of active service. On 30 Sep 13, she was honorably discharged and credited with 10 years, 2 months, and 18 days of total active service. According to item 7(b) of her DD Form 213, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, her home of record at time of entry reflects “Anasco, PR.” The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility, which are attached at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of an error or injustice. The applicant’s DD Form 4 is the source document for HOR and place of entry (POE). Appendix A of the Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR) for Uniformed Service Members indicates the HOR is the place recorded as the home of the individual when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty, unless there is a break in service of more than one full day. The HOR is the location identified by the individual upon entering the service, not a location where the individual is later assigned or a location selected for convenience and any correction must be fully justified. AFPC Officer Accessions Branch confirmed that the applicant initialed the DD Form 4/1, dated 4 Oct 01, listing Anasco, PR as her HOR. As such, there was no error or justification that warrants a change in the applicant’s HOR to FL. A complete copy of the AFPC/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 13 Dec 13 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D). ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2.  The application was timely filed. 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 the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2013-02852 in Executive Session on 6 Mar 13, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Chair Member Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 3 Jun 13, w/atch.
