                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-00692
            INDEX CODE:  112.01

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His official home of record (HOR) be changed to, Murchison, TX, 75778.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

On 10 September 2003, while he was in the Delayed  Enlistment  Program
(DEP), his family moved to Texas.

In support of his appeal, the applicant has  provided  copies  of  his
social security card, his Texas driver’s license, and his Air Force ID
card.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

At the time of DEP enlistment into the Air Force, the applicant listed
his HOR as, Sarona, WI 54870.  Between the time  of  his  initial  DEP
enlistment and his actual entry onto active duty, he  and  his  family
moved to Texas.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial.  DPPAE states the HOR is  defined  as
the place recorded as the  home  of  the  individual  when  they  were
commissioned, enlisted, or initially ordered to active duty.   HOR  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.  HOR
does not dictate the  location  where  the  member  must  reside  upon
separation.  While legal addresses may change from time to time during
a member’s career, HOR remains constant.  There is no documentation to
substantiate changing the applicant’s HOR.

DPPAE’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 2
April 2004 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 error or injustice.   After  reviewing  the  evidence  of
record, the Board believes that it is not unreasonable to presume that
the applicant may have misconstrued the definition of HOR as  provided
by the OPR.  He lived in Wisconsin when he entered the DEP.   However,
when he initially entered active duty, he did so from his family’s new
home in Texas.   Therefore,  to  preclude  a  possible  injustice,  we
recommend 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 his home of record  at
the time of his entry on active duty was, Murchison, TX  75778  rather
than, Sarona, WI 54870.

______________________________________________________________
