RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00439 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Home of Record (HOR) be changed to Concepcion, Tarlac, Philippines. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: When he enlisted in the Air Force, he was renting an apartment in Ft. Walton Beach, FL and that was the address recorded as his HOR; however, he would like it corrected to Philippines. At the time of his enlistment, he was not provided enough information that his HOR is a factor used to determine who to contact for family emergencies. Also, he is originally from the Philippines and all of his family members live there. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 7 Sep 94, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force. His DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, reflects Ft. Walton Beach, FL, as the HOR. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial indicating after a thorough review of the applicant's military personnel record and other supporting documentation, there appears to not be an error or injustice in determining his HOR justifying a change. The DD Form 4 is the source document for HOR and Place of Entry (POE). The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), volume 1, Appendix A 1, part 1, states, “The place recorded as the home of the individual when reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted remains the same as that recorded when commission, 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. AFPC Enlisted Accessions Branch confirmed the applicant initialed DD FM 4/1, dated 15 Mar 1994, which lists Ft. Walton Beach, FL, as his HOR. The complete 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 21 Mar 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 timely filed. 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.
