IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-02906
		INDEX CODE:  100.00

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Holloman AFB, NM, to the state of South Dakota (SD).
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He is a resident of the state of SD.  His driver’s license, voter’s registration and license plate are from SD.

Applicant provided no supporting documentation.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant entered the Delayed Entry/Enlistment Program (DEP) on 11 August 2001.  On 29 January 2002, he contracted his enlistment in the Regular Air Force in the grade of airman first class (E‑3) for a period of four years.  DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, reflects Holloman AFB, NM, as his HOR.
_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be denied.  DPPAE states that HOR is defined as the place recorded as the home of the individual when they entered active duty.  After a thorough review of the applicant’s military records, DPPAE found no documentation to substantiate changing his HOR.  The HQ AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 21 November 2003 for review and response.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  Applicant’s contentions are duly noted.  However, his application does not convince us that the HOR currently reflected in his records was incorrectly recorded at the time he was initially ordered to active duty.  Therefore, in the absence of sufficient evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 
_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
