RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:				DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-03331
								INDEX CODE:  100.00; 100.02
								COUNSEL:  None

								HEARING DESIRED:  No

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Information reflected on her separation document relating her Home of Record (HOR) and Nearest Relative be corrected.
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The HOR annotated on her DD214 was never a home of record at time of entry.  The nearest relative listed is not a relative, and the name and address are bogus.

Applicant did not provide any documentation in support of the appeal.  Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant contracted her enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 14 May 1990.  DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, reflects XXXXXXXX, as her HOR.  This same information was reflected on the Standard Form 93 (Report of Medical History), completed by the applicant on 23 February 1990 when she underwent a physical examination for enlistment.

The applicant was honorably discharged in the grade of senior airman (E-4) on 3 November 1994 under the provisions of AFR 39-10 (Personality Disorder).  She had served 4 years, 5 months and 20 days on active duty.  Her HOR reflected on her separation document was the same as the one she reported at enlistment.  Her nearest relative was listed as Ms.  , at a XXXXXX, Illinois address.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE stated that the HOR is defined as the place recorded as the home of the individual when they entered active duty.  It is recorded in the military personnel record for the sole purpose of determining transportation entitlements upon separation, or those of dependents in the event of a member’s death while on active duty.  While legal addresses may change from time to time during a member’s career, HOR remains constant.  They recommend denial of the applicant’s request (Exhibit C).

HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial.  They stated that no errors or irregularities occurred in the initiation or completion of the DD Form 214.  All criteria of the pertinent regulation were met and the DD form 214 reflects the individual’s name and address as provided by the applicant (Exhibit D).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 19 December 2003 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, this office has received no response.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  We agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of 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.
