APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He established Texas residency in 1999, registered to vote in TX, purchased a home in TX, changed his Leave and Earnings Statement (LES), and remained in San Antonio, TX until his discharge in August 2004. He then commissioned through Officer Training School (OTS) in August 2004. The entry made by the local finance office on his Extended Active Duty (EAD) Order incorrectly listed his HOR to his previous address in Virginia. His DD Form 214 currently reflects his HOR is Hayes, VA. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Air Force Reserve on 6 Jan 84 and remained in the Air Force Reserve until 19 Mar 84 when he entered the Regular Air Force on 20 Mar 84. On 13 Aug 04, the applicant separated from the Regular Air Force and was credited with 20 years, 4 months, and 24 days of active service. According to the AF Form 768, Extended Active Duty Order, the applicant commissioned with the Regular Air Force on 14 Aug 04. On 31 Aug 14, the applicant retired from the Regular Air Force in the grade of Major (O-4) and was credited with 30 years, 7 months, and 25 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. 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 was reviewed the DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, his AF Form 24, Application for Appointment as Reserve of the Air Force or USAF Without Component, and his AF Form 766, Extended Active Duty Order, all reflect Hayes, VA as his HOR. In addition, per the Joint Federal Travel Regulation, Vol 1, 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. Appendix A states “Only if a break in service exceeds one full day may the member change the 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 25 Feb 15 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. 4. The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered. 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.
