                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:                       DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-03053

                                        COUNSEL: None

                                        HEARING DESIRED: No

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her home of record (HOR) be changed from Oceanside CA, to Chaffee MO.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was unaware that her home of record was  anything  different  than
what she initially requested, and have only recently  found  that  out
while out-processing from the Air Force.  She requested  her  home  of
record to be Chaffee MO upon enlistment.  That  is  where  her  mother
lived.  She had lived in Missouri for almost five years, had  gone  to
high school there and is a current taxpayer.

At the time of her enlistment, she went to visit her cousin,  who  was
in the Marine Corps, for a few months and  had  decided  to  join  the
military her self.  He lived on Camp Pendleton in one  of  the  family
housing units.  So, naturally she entered Military Entrance Processing
Station (MEPS) directly from San Diego.  She was unaware that they had
put her temporary address down as her home of record.  Her cousin  was
honorably discharge soon after she went into military.

In support of the appeal, the applicant  submits  a  personal  letter,
copies of DD Form 214 and high school Diploma.

Applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant contracted her enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 29 May
1998 at the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) in  Dan  Diego
CA.  Enlistment records showed her HOR as Oceanside CA since this  was
the location from which she enlisted.


HOR is defined as the place recorded as the home of the individual  at
the time they enlisted, were commissioned,  or  initially  ordered  to
active duty.  It is recorded  in  the  military  personnel  record  to
determine transportation entitlements upon separation.  The HOR can be
changed only if there has been a break in  service  of  one  full  day
(inactive reserve time is not counted as a break in service) or a bona
fide error was made in recording the information given by the member.

_________________________________________________________________

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 error or injustice warranting favorable consideration  of
the applicant’s request.  After reviewing the evidence of record,  the
majority of the Board is of the opinion that sufficient evidence  does
exist to support a finding  that  the  applicant  may  not  have  been
adequately advised by her recruiter  regarding  her  Home  of  Record.
Based on the fact that the applicant continued to list Alamogordo,  NM
as her place of residence, the majority of the Board  recommends  that
the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that her home of record  at
the time of his entry on active duty  was  Chaffee,  MO,  rather  than
Oceanside, CA.

____________________________________________________________

The following members of the Board considered Docket  Number  BC-2003-
03053 in Executive Session on 9 December 2003, under the provisions of
AFI 36-2603:

                       Mr. Roscoe Hinton, Jr., Panel Chair
                       Ms. Cheryl Jacobson, Member
                       Ms. Olga M. Crerar, Member

By a majority  vote,  the  Board  voted  to  correct  the  records  as
indicated.  Mr. Hinton, Jr., voted to deny the application,  but  does
not wish to  submit  a  Minority  Report.  The  following  documentary
evidence was considered:

            Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 3 Sep 03.
            Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.




                                   ROSCOE HINTON, JR
                                   Panel Chair
