RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05176 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed to Albuquerque, NM. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She no longer has ties to Cleveland, OH and wants to start her retired life in Albuquerque, NM. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is on active duty in the Regular Air Force and is serving in the grade of Staff Sergeant (SSgt, E-5). According to DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, dated 8 Feb 01, her HOR is Cleveland Hts, OH. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. After a thorough review of her military personnel record and other supporting documentation, there appears to not be an error or injustice in determining her HOR. In Accordance With (IAW) the Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), volume 1, Appendix A1, part 1, the DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, is the source document for HOR and Place of Entry (POE). 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 HOR be changed. 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 AFPC Enlisted Accessions Branch confirmed the applicant’s DD Form 4/1 dated 8 Feb 01, as well as subsequent enlistment documents list Cleveland, OH as the HOR. The complete DPSIPE evaluation is at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: On 24 Jan 14, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a response. _________________________________________________________________ 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 that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
