RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02924 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, reflect the following: a. Item 7a (Place of Entry into Active Duty (PLEAD)) reflect Niceville, FL, rather than Tuscaloosa, AL. b. Item 7b (Home of Record (HOR) at Time of Entry) reflect Niceville, FL, rather than Clifton, VA. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was commissioned into the Air Force at the completion of his two-year Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at the University of Alabama. Tuscaloosa, AL, should be his entry into service and his initial home of record. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: Special Orders No. AL-000418 reflects the applicant was relieved from active duty effective 30 June 2013 and retired effective 1 July 2013 with 26 years, 4 months and 16 days of active service for retirement. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIPS recommends denial. DPSIPS states while a service member’s domicile or legal residence may change as they relocate during their military career, their HOR will not change. The applicant’s Military Personnel Record Group was reviewed; specifically his DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States; AF Form 24, Application for Appointment as Reserves of the Air Force or USAF Without Component; AF Form 766, Extended Active Duty Order, dated 12 January 1987. Each of these forms lists his HOR as Clifton, VA, and his PLEAD as Tuscaloosa, AL. In addition, per the Joint Federal Travel Regulation, Volume I, Appendix A, 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. Additionally, appendix A states “Only if a break in service exceeds one full day may the member change the HOR”. There is no justification to change the applicant’s HOR or PLEAD. Item 7a and 7b reflected on his DD Form 214 is correct according to his military service documents. The complete AFPC/DPSIPS 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 17 October 2014 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 is timely filed. 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 relief sought in this application.
