                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:                       DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-03331
                                             INDEX CODE:  100.00; 100.02
                                             COUNSEL:  None

                                             HEARING DESIRED:  No

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Information reflected on  her  separation  document  relating  her  Home  of
Record (HOR) and Nearest Relative be corrected.
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The HOR annotated on her DD214 was never a home of record at time of  entry.
 The nearest relative listed is not a relative, and  the  name  and  address
are bogus.

Applicant did not provide  any  documentation  in  support  of  the  appeal.
Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant contracted her enlistment in the  Regular  Air  Force  on  14  May
1990.  DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, reflects XXXXXXXX,  as
her HOR.  This same information  was  reflected  on  the  Standard  Form  93
(Report of Medical History), completed by the applicant on 23 February  1990
when she underwent a physical examination for enlistment.

The applicant was honorably discharged in the grade of senior  airman  (E-4)
on  3  November  1994  under  the  provisions  of  AFR  39-10   (Personality
Disorder).  She had served 4 years, 5 months and 20  days  on  active  duty.
Her HOR reflected on her separation document was the same  as  the  one  she
reported at enlistment.  Her nearest relative was listed as Ms. D--- V. W---
, at a Chicago, Illinois address.
________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE stated that the HOR is defined as the place  recorded  as  the
home of the individual when they entered active duty.   It  is  recorded  in
the  military  personnel  record  for  the  sole  purpose   of   determining
transportation entitlements upon separation, or those of dependents  in  the
event of a member’s death while on active duty.  While legal  addresses  may
change from time to time during a member’s  career,  HOR  remains  constant.
They recommend denial of the applicant’s request (Exhibit C).

HQ  AFPC/DPPRS  recommended  denial.   They  stated  that   no   errors   or
irregularities occurred in the initiation or completion of the DD Form  214.
 All criteria of the pertinent regulation were  met  and  the  DD  form  214
reflects the individual’s name and address  as  provided  by  the  applicant
(Exhibit D).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the  applicant  on  19
December 2003 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date,  this
office has received no response.

________________________________________________________________

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.   We  agree  with   the   opinion   and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility  and  adopt
their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant  has  not
been the victim of an error or injustice.   Therefore,  in  the  absence  of
evidence to the contrary, 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 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.
