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


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01842

						COUNSEL:  NONE
	
						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her home of record (HOR) be changed from XXXXXXXX, Powell, Ohio (OH) 43065 to XXXXXXX, Ostrander, OH 43061.  


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her HOR is only annotated as Powell, OH because it was a temporary apartment she lived in prior to joining the Air Force.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of Airman First Class (E-3).  

According to the applicant’s DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document – Armed Forces of the United States, Powell, OH is annotated as her 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.  The DD Form 4/1 is the source document for the HOR.  The Joint Federal Travel Regulation indicates that 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, by 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 6 November 2015 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.
