IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-02975

	 	COUNSEL:  NONE

	 	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed to Leon Valley, Texas.
_________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His HOR is incorrect.

In support of the appeal, the applicant submits a wireless telephone bill sent to his address in Leon Valley, Texas.

Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 20 July 1995.  DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, reflects Ramah, New Mexico, as his HOR.

EXAMINER'S NOTE:

HOR is defined as the place recorded as the home of the individual at the time they enlisted, were commissioned, or initially ordered to active duty.  It is recorded in the military personnel record to determine transportation entitlements upon separation.  The HOR can be changed only if there has been a break in serive of one full day (inactive reserve time is not counted as a break in service) or a bona fide error was made in recording the information given by the member.  

_________________________________________________________________

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 an error or injustice.  Applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, he has provided no evidence that would lead us to believe 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 evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable action on 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.
