MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  30 March 2007


________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Baldwin, NY to Winter Springs, FL.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Although no error occurred, he needs his HOR changed.  When he  applied  for
a renewal of his driver’s license, he also changed his residence.

In support of the appeal, applicant submits a copy of his  Florida  driver’s
license.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular Air  Force  on  2
November 1990 for a period of four years and listed his HOR as Baldwin, NY.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAES recommends the application be denied and states, in  part,  that
an HOR is defined as the place recorded as the home  of  the  individual  at
the time they enlisted, were commissioned,  or  were  initially  ordered  to
active duty.  There is no indication provided by  applicant  that  an  error
occurred.  Applicant indicates that he originally entered the Air  Force  in
New York and although no error occurred, he needs it changed.

The AFPC/DPPAES evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the evaluation  was  forwarded  to  the  applicant  on  4
November 2005, for review and comment, within 30 days.  However, 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.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of  error  or  injustice.   We  took  notice  of  the  applicant's
complete submission in judging the merits of the  case;  however,  we  agree
with the opinion and recommendation of  the  Air  Force  office  of  primary
responsibility and adopt it’s rationale as  the  basis  for  our  conclusion
that the applicant has not been the victim of an  error  or  injustice.   We
note, HOR is defined as the place recorded as the home of the individual  at
the time they enlisted, were commissioned,  or  were  initially  ordered  to
active duty.  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.

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. We therefore adopt the rationale provided by the Air Force office of primary responsibility and conclude...
