RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00571 COUNSEL: NONE XXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Knoxville, TN to New Orleans, LA. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: In August 2005, he had to relocate from his home in New Orleans to Knoxville for approximately one year due to Hurricane Katrina. Prior to leaving for Basic Military Training (BMT) he was able to move back to New Orleans. His immediate family lives in New Orleans and he has no family connections in Knoxville. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 14 December 2006. His DD Form 4, Enlistment - Reenlistment Document, reflects Knoxville, TN as his HOR. THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. After a thorough review of the applicant's military personnel record and other supporting documentation, there appears to be no error or injustice regarding the applicant’s HOR. Joint Federal Travel Regulation Volume I, Appendix A1, Part 1, 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 applicant's DD Form 4, reflects Knoxville, TN as his HOR. The complete DPSIPE evaluation, with attachment is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: On 8 May 2014, 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 the rationale expressed as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Should the applicant provide official documentation to substantiate that he was displaced due to Hurricane Katrina, we would be willing to reconsider his request. In view of the above and 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.
