RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00074
					COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home Of Record (HOR) and Place Of Entry (POE) be changed to 
San Antonio, Texas (TX).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He requested that his HOR and POE be changed after his last 
reenlistment on 13 Jan 96 because at that time, he was a legal 
resident of San Antonio, TX.  He established domicile in San 
Antonio by surrendering his Connecticut driver’s license and 
obtaining a Texas state driver’s license.  He has lived in San 
Antonio since 93 without a break.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 13 Jan 82, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.

According to the applicant’s DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment 
Document – Armed Forces of the United States, executed on 16 Apr 
81, “Hartford, CT” was annotated as his HOR.

On 1 Feb 02, he retired from active duty and was credited with 
20 years and 17 days of total active service.  According to item 
7(a) of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge 
from Active Duty, his POE at time of entry reflects 
“Springfield, MA.”  According to item 7(b), his HOR at time of 
entry reflects “Hartford, CT.”


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 POE.  Appendix A1, part 1 of the 
Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR) for Uniformed Service 
Members indicates unless there is a break in service of more 
than one full day, 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. Only 
if a break in service exceeds on full day, may the member change 
their 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 and any 
correction must be fully justified.  Domicile or legal residence 
may change, but the HOR will remain the same.  AFPC Enlisted 
Accessions Branch could not confirm the applicant’s HOR and POE 
were San Antonio, TX.   

The 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 14 Feb 14 for review and comment 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 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.  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 of injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.


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.
