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


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01031

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Belleville, Illinois 
(IL) to Eielson AFB, Alaska (AK).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The applicant does not claim an error or injustice has occurred.  
He has changed his legal residency to AK and now wants to change 
his military enlistment HOR.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is on active duty.

His initial enlistment and subsequent reenlistment forms all 
have Belleville IL as his HOR.

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.  The applicant did not provide relevant 
proof that his HOR should be updated to reflect a correct HOR on 
date of enlistment.

The DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of 
the United States, is the source document for Home of Record 
(HOR).  The Joint Federal Travel Regulation, Volume I, 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 or 
a location selected for convenience; a correction must be fully 
justified.  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 15 Mar 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.



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.
