IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-02120

			COUNSEL:  NONE

					HEARING DESIRED:  NO 




APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Okinawa, Japan to Raleigh, North Carolina.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His recruiter told him to put down his current address which is incorrect and does not reflect his true HOR.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Member is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of Senior Airmen (SrA).

On 18 Apr 12, the applicant enlisted into the Air Force Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP). The applicant’s DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, Block 3, Home of Record, reflects PSC 559 Box 6335 APO AP 96367.  

On 6 Nov 12, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.  

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 had the opportunity to select a HOR during his enlistment process.  Air Force Recruiting Service Instruction, Recruiting Procedures for the Air Force, para 2.3.2.1 states: Ensure applicant is counseled on listing an appropriate (HOR).  Most applicants enlisting at overseas locations are only residing at those locations temporarily as a result of their parent’s service overseas.  In these circumstances applicants should consider a HOR they are most likely to wish to return to at a CONUS location.  In many cases they may use the HOR address claimed by parent or another more permanent CONUS address. If applicant believes he was miss-informed he should contact his recruiter to have recruiter provide documentation that HOR was entered wrong 

The applicant has failed to provide any evidence that the wrong HOR was entered on his enlistment document.

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 2 Dec 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.
