RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-03507
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her records be corrected to show that her Home of Record (HOR) reflects Kell, IL, rather than Warrensburg, MO.
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Had she not been married to an active duty service member prior to her enlistment, she would have resided in Kell, IL, with her parents.

In support of the applicant’s appeal, she provides a copy of her birth certificate, marriage license, divorce decree, DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment 
Document Armed Forces of the United States, DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing – Armed Forces of the United States,

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of staff sergeant.

The applicant’s DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, reflects the HOR as Warrensburg, MO.
________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial.  DPSIPE states the DD Form 4 is the source document for HOR and place of entry.  The Joint 
Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR) Volume I, Appendix A1, part 1, 
states, “The place recorded as the home of the individual when 
reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted remains the same as that 
recorded when commissioned, appointed, enlisted or inducted or 
ordered into the tour of active duty unless there is a break in 
service of more than one full day.  Only if a break in service 
exceeds one full day, may the member change the HOR.”  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; a correction must be 
fully justified.  Domicile or legal residence may change, but 
the HOR will not.  The Air Force Personnel Center Enlisted 
Accessions Branch confirmed that the member initialed the DD 
Form 4/1 dated 2 April 2004 which list Warrensburg, MO, as the 
applicant’s HOR.  DPSIPE was able to validate the applicant’s 
place of birth to be Centralia, IL, which has been updated.

After a thorough review of the applicant’s records and 
supporting documentation, there appears to not be an error or 
injustice in determining the member’s HOR.

The complete DPSIPE evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 10 January 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, 
no response has been received by this office. 
________________________________________________________________

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 an error or injustice.  The applicant’s contentions are duly noted; 
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.  Therefore, other than the administrative correction cited above, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the remaining relief sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of an 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.
