His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Wilmington, Delaware to 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He has no living relatives, residences, or interests in the 
state of Delaware.  Pennsylvania is his place of birth, his 
father's residence, and where he plans on retiring.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained 
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air 
Force.  Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in 
this Record of Proceedings.

________________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

DPSIPS recommends denial.  DPSIPS states that there is no error 
or injustice to justify a change to the applicant’s HOR.  Joint 
Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR) Volume I, Appendix A, states in 
part that a HOR is the place recorded as the individual’s home 
when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered 
into a tour of active duty.  Any 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.   The Air Force Personnel 
Center Officer Accessions Branch confirmed that the applicant 
initialed the DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed 
Forces of the United States, dated 9 Jun 2009, listing 
Wilmington, Delaware as his HOR.

The complete DPSIPS evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit 
C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 6 Dec 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  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.  We took notice 
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of 
the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not 
been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 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.
