STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of senior airman (E-4).

According to the applicant’s DD Form 4/1,Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, Hope, IN was her home of record at the time of her enlistment.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial, indicating the applicant’s records reflect Hope, IN as the HOR at which she resided prior to entering the Air Force.  This address is listed as her HOR on the DD Form 4 and serves as the source document for the HOR.  Appendix A of the Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR) for Uniformed Service Members indicates the HOR is the place recorded as the home of the individual when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty.  As such, there was no error or justification that warrants a change in the applicant’s HOR. 
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIPE evaluation is at Exhibit C.

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 11 January 2013, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, this office has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.
