lists his home of record as Grafenwoehr, Germany vice Mira Loma, CA (as reflected on 
the applicant’s Enlisted Record Brief dated 20190411.  This item must contain a U.S. or 
U.S. territorial address and cannot contain an overseas address.

ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE(S):

Not Applicable

REFERENCES:

1.  Title 10, USC, section 1552(b), provides that applications for correction of military 
records must be filed within three years after discovery of the alleged error or injustice.  
This provision of law also allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records 
(ABCMR) to excuse an applicant's failure to timely file within the three-year statute of 
limitations if the ABCMR determines it would be in the interest of justice to do so.

2. Army Regulation (AR) 601-210 (Regular Army and Army Reserve Enlistment 
Program), in effect at the time, governed eligibility criteria, policies, and procedures for 
enlistment and processing of persons into the Regular Army and the U.S. Army Reserve 
for enlistment.  Figure 6-1 (DD Form 1966 completion instructions) provided the 
following instructions for:

	a.  Item 3 (Current Address) - Enter street, city, county, state, country and zip code.

	b.  Item 4 (HOR Address) - Enter the street, city, county, state, country and zip code.  
Do not enter a temporary address.  Address must be in United States or 
U.S. territory. 

3.  The Joint Travel Regulations, Appendix A (Definitions and Acronyms), defines HOR 
as the place recorded as the home of the individual when commissioned, appointed, 
enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty.

	a.  The place recorded as the individual’s home when reinstated, reappointed, or 
reenlisted remains the same as that recorded when commissioned, appointed, enlisted 
or inducted or ordered into the tour of active duty unless there is a break in service of 
more than one full day.  Only if a break in service exceeds one full
day may the member change the HOR.

	b.  Travel and transportation allowances are based on the officially corrected 
recording in those instances when, through a bona fide error, the place originally named 
at time of current entry into the Service was not in fact the actual home.  Any such 
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.
