RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-03694 INDEX CODE: 100.00 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her home of record (HOR) be changed from, California, to, Virginia. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She is not a resident of California, nor does she ever plan to live there permanently. She enlisted in National City, California, and had only lived in California for three months. She and her husband (also active duty) plan on retiring, raising their children, and buying a home in Virginia. Both her and her husband’s parents live in the area and that is where they spend their yearly family vacations. The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is presently serving on active duty in the grade of staff sergeant. She contracted her initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 26 Nov 02. DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, reflects, California, as her HOR. This same city and State was also listed on a subsequent enlistment/reenlistment document dated 13 Oct 06. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends the applicant’s request be denied. DPSOA states the applicant has failed to provide any evidence to support her HOR should be Virginia. On 14 Oct 08, AFPC/DPSOA requested the applicant provide additional documentation or evidence to show that she was a resident of, Virginia to support her claim (i.e., 2001/2002 tax forms, drivers license, or other documents to support her request. The HOR is defined as the place recorded as the home of the individual when enlisted or ordered into a tour of active duty. It can be changed only if there is a break in service of one full day or a bona fide error was made in recording information given by the member. The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: On 16 Jan 09, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a response has not been received. _________________________________________________________________ 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, she has provided no evidence which would lead us to believe the HOR currently reflected in her records was incorrectly recorded at the time she 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. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered Docket Number BC-2008-03694 in Executive Session on 11 March 2009, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Chair Member Member The following documentary evidence pertaining to Docket Number BC-2008-03694 was considered: Exhibit A.
