                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:                       DOCKET NUMBER:  98-02537
                                        INDEX CODE 112.01
                                        COUNSEL: No

                                        HEARING DESIRED: No

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His home of record (HOR) be changed from El Segundo,  CA,  to  Austin,
TX.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the  records  to  be  in  error  or
unjust and the evidence submitted in support  of  the  appeal  are  at
Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from  the
applicant's military records, 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.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Chief, Skills Management Branch, HQ AFPC/DPPAE, reviewed the  case
and provided his rationale for denying the applicant’s request.

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 19
January 1999 for review and comment within 30 days.  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.    Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented  to  demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice  to  warrant  relief.  We
took note of the supporting statement from the applicant’s parents. It
would appear that misinformation adversely  affected  the  applicant’s
actions. He lived with his parents and could have moved with them from
El Segundo to Austin and enlisted at that time. He then would have had
an Austin, TX, HOR.  However,  based  on  the  recruiter’s  inaccurate
assurances, the applicant remained where he was in El Segundo. He  and
his  parents  appropriately  raised  the  right  question  before   he
enlisted; however, they were given the  wrong  answer.  Therefore,  in
order to preclude a possible injustice, we recommend  the  applicant’s
HOR be changed to Austin, TX.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that his home of record at
the time of his entry on active duty was Austin, TX,  rather  than  El
Segundo, CA.

_________________________________________________________________
