RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01593 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Place of Enlistment (POE) and Home of Record (HOR) be corrected to reflect Desoto, Texas 75115. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He moved to Dallas, Texas in September of 1987 to attend college which started in January 1988. He was assigned a new recruiter in Dallas and entered the Air Force on 18 May 88 from his Dallas, Texas address: 514 E. Beltline Rd, Apartment A-4, Dallas, Texas 75115. The reason for this request is to secure the use of the Hazelwood Act; in which his records must show he was a Texas residence upon entry in the Air Force so he can receive college tuition assistance. In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, which shows his separation mailing address as San Antonio, Texas and an Official College Transcript which shows he was attending college in Dallas, Texas until his date of entry into the Air Force. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 18 May 88. The applicant’s DD Form 4/1, Enlistment / Reenlistment Document, reflect POE as Nashville MEPS and HOR as Franklin TN. On 1 Apr 90, the applicant was furnished an Honorable discharge, and was credited with 1 year, 10 months, and 14 days of active service. The applicant’s DD Form 214 and AF Form 100, Request and Authorization for Separation, both reflect his POE as Nashville, TN and HOR as Franklin TN 37064. 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 DD Form 4 is the source document for Home of Record (HOR) and Place of Entry (POE). The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), volume 1, Appendix Al , 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. They could not confirm that member's HOR and POE were 514E. Beltline Rd Apt A4 Desoto TX 75115 at the time of initial entry into the United States Air Force. 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 10 Nov 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.

Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.
