RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS.


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-00908

  					COUNSEL:  NONE

					HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed from XXX, Wiesbaden, Germany 
to XXXX, Killeen, TX 76549.  


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She enlisted while her father was active duty in the Army and 
stationed overseas.  Because she had no relatives in the 
continental United States, she chose the overseas location as 
her HOR.  

Her entire family has moved to Texas and she would like to 
change her HOR to reflect where her family has settled 
permanently.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force as a 
Senior Airman (SrA)/E-4.

According to DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed 
Forces of the United States, dated 5 Aug 09, her HOR is recorded 
as Wiesbaden, Germany.   

According to DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing – Armed 
Forces of the United States, dated 5 Aug 09, her HOR is recorded 
as Wiesbaden, Germany.

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 the applicant did not 
provide relevant proof that her HOR at the time of enlistment 
should be different than what is listed on her enlistment 
documents.  The DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document 
Armed Forces of the United States, is the source document for 
HOR.  The Joint Federal Travel Regulation, Volume 1, Appendix 
A1, part 1 states, “The place recorded as the home of the 
individual when reinstated, reappointed, or reenlisted remains 
the same as that recorded when commissioned, 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, nor a location selected for convenience or 
affiliation.  Domicile or legal residence may change, but the 
HOR will not.  

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 4 Nov 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 OPR and adopt its rationale as 
the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the 
victim of an error or injustice.  While we acknowledge the 
applicant’s request to change her HOR, we do not believe she has 
demonstrated evidence of an injustice, as compared to others in 
her similar situation. 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.
