RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04830 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed to Weyerhaeuser, WI. ________________________________________________________________ THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Her HOR is the address where she was recruited from not her correct HOR which is 150 miles from there. She did not realize it was incorrect until she went to the Traffic Management Office (TMO). Her parents live closer to Nellis AFB and changing it would not cost the government more money. In support of her appeal, the applicant provides copies of an AF Form 899, Request for Authorization for Permanent Change of Station – Military, dated 29 Jun 12; her DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, issued 29 Jun 11, and various other supporting documents. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 29 Jun 11, the applicant entered active duty in the grade of Airman Basic (AB/E-1). The applicant’s DD Form 4, reflects Wausau, WI as the HOR. ________________________________________________________________ THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. There is no evidence of an error or justification to warrant a change to the official record. DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, is the source document for HOR. The applicant's initial DD Form 4, dated 29 Jun 11, reflects Wausau, WI as the HOR. The Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR) for Uniformed Service, Volume 1, Appendix A1, part 1 states the HOR is, "The place recorded as the individual's home when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty. Only if a break in service exceeds one full day may the member change the HOR." The HOR is the location documented on the initial enlistment document, not a location where the individual is later assigned or a location selected for convenience; a correction must be fully justified. The complete DPSIPE evaluation is at Exhibit B. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 6 Dec 13 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C). ________________________________________________________________ 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.
