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


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01583

  					COUNSEL:  NONE

					HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) is changed to XXXX, Charlotte, NC.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The HOR listed in his official military records is an extended 
family member’s business address he used when he enlisted, based 
on the advice of a recruiter.  This change would more accurately 
reflect his information and potentially avert great financial 
hardship for his family.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving as a Staff Sergeant (SSgt)/E-
5 in the Regular Air Force.  

According to DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed 
Forces of the United States, and DD Form 1966, Record of 
Military Processing – Armed Forces of the United States, both 
dated 30 Oct 09, his HOR is listed as XXXXX, Minot, ND. 

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 the applicant’s HOR remains unchanged.  
The DD Form 4 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, including 
attachments, 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 of injustice.  
While we acknowledge the applicant’s request to change his home 
of record, we do not believe he has demonstrated evidence of an 
injustice, as compared to others in his 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.
