                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-1999-00282
            INDEX CODE:  100.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO



_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home of Record (HOR) be changed from ----, TX, to ---, CA.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The HOR designation was not fully explained to her when she  initially
entered active duty.  CA is her legal state  of  residency.   She  was
staying with her sister in TX for the summer when she entered the  Air
Force.  She does  not  believe  she  should  be  penalized  for  being
misinformed.

No supporting documents were  submitted  with  her  application.   The
applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant contracted her enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 22 Apr
98.  DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, reflects ---,  TX,
as her HOR.
_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be denied.  DPPAE states that
the applicant’s first application was returned to her requesting  more
information and explained the purpose of HOR designation.  After being
informed of the requirements to change her HOR, the applicant did  not
provide documents of legal  residency  or  proof  that  she  maintains
residency in CA.  The HQ AFPC/DPPAE evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 4 Apr
03 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 error or injustice.  Her contentions are duly  noted;
however, we do not find these uncorroborated  assertions,  in  and  by
themselves sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale  provided
by the Air Force office of primary responsibility.  We note  that  the
applicant  has  been  asked  by  the  Air  Force  office  of   primary
responsibility to provide additional information to  substantiate  her
contentions, but she has  failed  to  do  so.   Should  the  applicant
provide  additional  documents  reflecting  California  as  her  legal
residence prior to her enlistment; i.e., school records and/or a birth
certificate, the Board may be willing to reconsider  her  application.
In the absence of documentary evidence substantiating the  applicant’s
contentions, we do not find the evidence provided establishes that the
applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice.  We  therefore
adopt the rationale provided  by  the  Air  Force  office  of  primary
responsibility and conclude that no basis exists 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.
_________________________________________________________________

Executive Session on 22 May 03, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:
