RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2017-05005

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
	
	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home of Record (HOR) be corrected to reflect San Antonio, Texas.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She joined the Air Force as an enlisted member in Boston, Massachusetts and her place of entry at commissioning was Lubbock, Texas.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a currently serving Air Force Second Lieutenant.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2ND recommends denying the application.  In accordance with the Joint Federal Travel Regulation, Volume I, Appendix A, the applicant’s HOR remains the same from her initial enlistment unless there is a break in service.  There was no break in service upon her commissioning.  However, her HOR was erroneous recorded on her Extended Active Duty Order, and was administratively corrected via Air Force Form 973, Request and Authorization for Change of Administrative Orders.  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 20 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 the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFPC/DP2ND and finds a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, except for the aforementioned administrative correction, 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.
