RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01162

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Laughlin, Texas to 
Akron, Ohio.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was a spouse of an active duty member stationed at Laughlin 
Air Force Base, Texas; however, he was a resident of Akron, 
Ohio.  As a spouse he was able to maintain a residency and this 
was not documented correctly on his initial enlistment.

In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his 
wife’s orders moving him from Akron, Ohio to Laughlin Air Force 
Base, Texas.  

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 1 Dec 
99.

On 19 Nov 07, the applicant was furnished an Honorable 
discharge, and was credited with 7 years, 1 months, and 19 days 
of active service.   

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  The Joint Federal Travel Regulation 
(JFTR), Volume 1, Appendix A1, part 1, states “The place 
recorded as the home of the individual when reinstated, 
reappointed or reenlisted remains the same as that record 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.”  AFPC confirmed that the 
applicant initialed his DD Form 4/1, Enlistment / Reenlistment 
Document, as well as subsequent enlistment documents listing 
“8064B Yarbrough, Laughlin Air Force Base Texas 78840” as his 
HOR.

A complete copy of the AFPC/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 15 Sep 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 
(OPR) 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.
