                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  00-02972
            INDEX CODE:  100.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO



_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Long Island, NY, to  Raleigh,
NC.

NOTE:  Applicant’s request to have his relocation (PCS) orders amended
will be administratively corrected to reflect Ladson, SC.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His HOR should reflect Raleigh, NC, as that is where he was  attending
college at the time of enlistment.
_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Information extracted from the Personnel Data System (PDS) reveals the
applicant’s Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD) as  21
Jan 87.  He is currently serving on active duty in the grade of  staff
sergeant (E-5), with an effective date and date of rank of 1 Jan 95.

The applicant’s Enlistment/Reenlistment Document reflects Ladson,  SC,
as his HOR at the time of his enlistment in the Air Force  Reserve  on
11 Jul 86.
_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Personnel Program  Management,  HQ  AFPC/DPPAE,  stated  that  the
applicant  was  advised  that  a  review  of  his  initial  enlistment
documents identified his  HOR  as  Ladson,  SC,  and  that  subsequent
enlistment documents erroneously reflected Long Island, NY (his  place
of birth).  DPPAE confirmed that  the  applicant’s  relocation  orders
were published in error and will be administratively corrected.  DPPAE
indicated that while legal addresses may  change  from  time  to  time
during a member’s career, HOR  remains  constant.   After  a  thorough
review  of  the  applicant’s  military   records,   DPPAE   found   no
documentation to substantiate changing the applicant’s HOR nor did the
applicant provide any evidence to the same.  DPPAE stated that the HOR
must be the actual home of the member upon entering service, and not a
different  place  selected  for  the  member’s   convenience.    DPPAE
recommended the applicant’s request to change his HOR to Raleigh,  NC,
be denied (Exhibit C).

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 2 Mar
01 for review and response.  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 not  timely  filed;  however,  it  is  in  the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented  to  demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice.  We took notice  of  the
applicant's submission in judging the merits of the case.  However, we
agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force  and  adopt
the rationale expressed  as  the  basis  for  our  decision  that  the
applicant has failed to sustain his burden that he has suffered either
an error or an injustice.  In view of the above and absent evidence to
reflect his home at the time of enlistment was other than Ladson,  SC,
we find no compelling 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 probable  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.

    Accordingly, they recommend that his separation code and narrative reason for separation be changed to “JFF - Secretarial Authority.” Airmen are given entry level separation/uncharacterized service characterization when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of continuous active service. However, since the governing directives do not provide for a narrative reason of “adjustment disorder,” we recommend that the reason for separation be changed to “Secretarial Authority,” with a...

    The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C). The advisory opinion was forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit D). After careful consideration of applicant's request and the available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant corrective action.
