RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02975
					COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home Of Record (HOR) be changed to reflect Yavapai, Arizona 
(AZ).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His original HOR was a temporary residence for college.  The 
Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) never explained to 
him that his address would be permanently recorded as his HOR, 
nor was the concept of HOR made clear.  

His actual HOR is Prescott Valley, AZ.  His vehicles are 
registered there; the address is listed on his driver’s license; 
he conducts all his personal business out of AZ; and this is 
where he will reside after his military service is completed.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
DD Form 1966/1, Record of Military Processing – Armed Forces of 
the United States; DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document 
Armed Forces of the United States and his driver’s license.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 3 Jan 07, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.  
His HOR at the time of entry reflects “Savannah, Georgia” and 
his Place of Entry reflects “Phoenix, AZ.”

According to the Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), volume 
1, Appendix A1, part 1, dated 1 Feb 14, 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.”    

On 31 Jan 15, he was honorably discharged and credited with 
8 years and 28 days of active service.  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial.  The DD Form 4 is the source 
document for HOR and Place of Entry (POE).  The HOR is the 
location identified by the individual upon entering the service, 
not the 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.  Only if a break in service exceeds one full day, may 
the member change the HOR.  A review of the applicant’s military 
personnel records failed to substantiate an error or injustice 
to warrant changing 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 23 Dec 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 
(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.
