RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2017-03430

	COUNSEL: NONE
	
	HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Extended Active Duty (EAD) ORDERS: 0158027, dated 7 Jun 10, be corrected to reflect Home of Record (HOR): 101 Buster Creek Rd, Nome, Alaska 99762.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The HOR address listed on EAD ORDERS: 0158027, is incorrect.  The incorrect address listed was one of many he had while attending college.  His DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, and DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, correctly shows his HOR that he has always maintained.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 26 Aug 09, the applicant signed his DD Form 4, reflecting his HOR as 101 Buster Creek Rd, Nome, AK 99762-0000.  Additionally, on the same day, he signed DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing – Armed Forces of the United States, reflecting HOR as 8331 W. Mornin Mist Ct, Boise, Ada, ID, US 83709.  

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 7 Jun 10.  

On 2 Sep 10, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, to accept commissioning as a second lieutenant, effective 3 Sep 10.  His 2 Sep 10, DD Form 214 listed Nome, AK, as his HOR.  

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 granting the application. The Joint Federal Travel Regulation, Appendix A, defines HOR for Service Members 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 DD Form 4 clearly states his HOR as: 101 Buster Creek Rd., Nome, Alaska 99762. Based on the documentation in the applicant’s record his HOR address should be changed on his Enlistment order and EAD order generated by the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) to reflect,101 Buster Creek Rd., Nome, Alaska 99762.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that Extended Active Duty (EAD) ORDERS: 0158027, dated 7 June 2010, reflect Home of Record (HOR): 101 Buster Creek Rd, Nome, Alaska  99762.
