RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2018-01750

XXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE

	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be corrected to reflect Texas instead of Wisconsin.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Although he enlisted while in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he was a resident of Texas at the time of his enlistment and provided the recruiter his Texas state identification as proof; however, the recruiter completed the applicant’s paperwork using his mother’s Wisconsin address.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s DD Form 1966/1, Record of Military Processing – Armed Forces of The United States, dated 22 Sep 95, block 4, states his current address is Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  On his DD Form 398, Department of Defense Personnel Security Questionnaire, dated 13 Dec 95, block 10, the applicant listed his current home address as Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  On his DD Form 2656, Data for Payment of Retired Personnel, dated 30 Mar 17, block 6, Correspondence Address shows Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  On a subsequent DD Form 2656, dated 1 May 17, block 6, Correspondence Address shows Houston, Texas.

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 denying the application based on the documentation provided by the applicant and analysis of the facts.  The applicant does not have a break in service, and there does not seem to be a “bona fide error.”  Therefore, the applicant cannot change his home of record.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C, with more information in the JTR at Exhibit E.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 12 Sep 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.

CERTIFICATION:

The following quorum of the Board, as defined in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR), paragraph 1.5, considered Docket Number BC-2018-01750 in Executive Session on 1 Nov 18:
