RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2017-03352

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL: NONE	 

	HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Minot, ND to Vacaville, CA.  

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her ex-husband was stationed at Minot AFB, ND when she enlisted.  However, Minot, ND is not her HOR.  She is from CA and would like her HOR corrected.   She was unaware until her reenlistment on 11 Jul 17 it had not been updated.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a technical sergeant in the Air Force.

Her DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, dated 11 Jul 17 shows her HOR as Minot (Ward), ND.  

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.  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 HOR as recorded in her records is correct at the time of entry onto active duty and should not be changed.  She has not provided any documentation to support an error or injustice at the time of entry onto active duty.  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 2 Aug 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.   Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

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.
