RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2017-02510

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX 	COUNSEL: NONE
	 
  	HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Howard, OH to Lewes, DE.  

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His family moved constantly over a period of 14 years and he does not have any official ties to  Ohio.  He is separating from active duty to serve as a Reservist on Dover AFB, DE.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a major in the Air Force Reserve.

The applicant served a period of active duty from 31 May 06 to 28 Feb 18 and was transferred to the Air Force Reserve.   

The applicant’s USAFA Form 0-112, Extended Active Duty Order, Special Order AD-00124, dated 28 Feb 06 and his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, dated 28 Feb 18 reflect his HOR as Howard, OH.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2LT recommends denial.  The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR) defines HOR as the place recorded as the individual’s home when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted or ordered into a tour of active duty.  The applicant’s USAFA Form 0-112 clearly states his HOR as Howard, OH.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 11 Jul 18 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The application was timely filed.

2.  The applicant exhausted all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

3.  After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion that the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFPC/DP2LT and finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  

 THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The applicant be informed the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.
