RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02600
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed to reflect San Antonio, 
Texas (TX).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

In 2002, he went through Officer Training School (OTS) at 
Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama (AL); however, they never 
bothered to look up his true HOR.  He has been a resident of TX 
since 1992.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty and W-2s, Wage and Tax Statements.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 20 Dec 02, the applicant was appointed a second lieutenant, 
Reserve of the Air Force.  His HOR and Place of Entry (POE) both 
reflect Maxwell AFB, AL.

The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), volume 1, Appendix 
A1, part 1, dated 1 Feb 14, states the HOR is the place recorded 
as the individual’s home when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, 
inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty and the Place of 
Entry (POE) is the place of acceptance in current enlistment, 
commission, or appointment of an active Service member, or of an 
Reserve component member when enlisted, commissioned, or 
appointed for immediate active duty.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPS recommends denial.  A review of the applicant’s 
military personnel records failed to substantiate an error or 
injustice to warrant changing his HOR.  A member’s domicile or 
legal residence may change as they relocate during their 
military career; however, their HOR will not change.

JFTR, volume 1, Appendix A1, part 1, states “any correction must 
be fully justified and the home must be the actual home of the 
member upon entering the service, and not a different place 
selected for the member’s convenience.  Only if a break in 
service exceeds one full day, may the member change the HOR.”

The complete DPSIPS evaluation is at Exhibit B. 


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 20 Oct 14, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit C).  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.
