The	applicant’s	complete	submission,	with	attachments,	is	at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving as member of the Regular Air Force in the grade of major (O-4).

On 30 Apr 04, the applicant was appointed into the Air Force Reserve by Reserve Appointment Letter, dated 30 Apr 04. It does not specify from where the applicant will depart for Active Duty.

According to the EAD order A1946, dated 28 May 04, the applicant’s Ohio address is listed as the place of departure, and his HOR is listed as Schroon New York.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIS recommends denial of the applicant’s requests, indicating the applicant has not provided evidence an error or injustice as occurred. A review of the applicant’s record, to include the Reserve Order dated 30 Apr 04, revealed no evidence that he resided in New York when he entered active duty. IAW the Joint Federal Travel Regulation, any correction must be fully justified and the Place of Entry on Active Duty must be the actual home of the member upon entering the service, and not a different place selected for the member’s convenience. To accurately determine the location where the member departed upon EAD, the initial travel voucher is required.

The applicant’s effective date of duty is correct.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 15 Oct 15 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office.

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. 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 (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.

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