xxxxxxxx	COUNSEL: NONE
	
	HEARING REQUESTED: NO

APPLICANT’S REQUEST

His home of record (HOR) be corrected from xxxxx to xxxxx.

APPLICANT’S CONTENTIONS

His HOR is not accurately reflected in his records.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

The applicant is currently serving as a technical sergeant (E-6) in the Regular Air Force.

On 14 Mar 07, according to DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing - Armed Forces of the United States, the applicant certified that his HOR was xxxxx.

On 9 Oct 07, according to DD Form  4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document - Armed Forces of the United States, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.  His HOR is recorded as xxxxx.  

According to the Automated Records Management System the applicant has not had a break in service.

For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B.

APPLICABLE AUTHORITY

The Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), Appendix A, defines the HOR as the place recorded as the individual’s home when appointed, commissioned, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty.  The JTR further states that a member may only change the HOR if a break in service exceeds one full day.  Additionally, in instances of a bona fide error where the place originally named at the time of current entry into the service was not in fact the actual home, the correction must be fully justified and the home, as corrected, must be the member’s actual home upon entering the service, and not a different place selected for the member’s convenience.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION

1.  The application was timely filed.

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

3.  After a careful review of the applicant's contentions and the available evidence of record, the Board is not convinced the applicant has provided sufficient evidence to conclude that he is the victim of an error or injustice.  The applicant’s HOR when he enlisted in the Regular Air Force is listed as xxxxx, and he did not provide proof that his HOR was recorded in error.  In addition, the applicant did not have a break in service of more than one full day; therefore, a change to his HOR is not authorized.  In view of the foregoing, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board recommends informing the applicant the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the Board will reconsider the application only upon receipt of relevant evidence not already presented.
