MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 28 JUL 2008

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Home of Record (HOR) be corrected.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He highly considered/attempted to be assigned to Alaska. He
immediately made Alaska the state in which to claim as his own.
After being assigned to Alaska, he obtained a voter registration
card, registered his vehicle, etc. He met and married his wife,
who is an Alaskan resident. He is currently deployed; however, he
plans to move back to Alaska at retirement.
In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a personal statement;
a copy of letter from HQ AFPC/DPPAE, dated 11 Aug 06, and voter
registration form.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Delayed Enlistment Program on 22 Apr 85
for a period of eight years in the grade of airman basic. His HOR
was listed on his DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document,
Armed Forces of the United States at that time.
He enlisted in the Regular Air Force 14 Aug 85. He was
progressively promoted to the rank of technical sergeant, with an
effective date/date of rank of 1 Nov 01. Military Personnel Data
system (MilPDS) reflects applicant has an approved retirement
application, with an effective date of 1 Sep 07.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAE reviewed this application and recommended denial.
The 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 personnel
record to determine transportation entitlements upon separation, or
those of dependents in the event of a member's death while on
active duty. It can be changed only if there is a break in service
of one full day or a bona fide error was made in recording
information given by the member. On 11 Aug 06, DPPAE notified the
applicant in writing of his HOR at the time of his enlistment and
that he processed through the XXXXXXXXX. Additionally, changing a
legal residence or intent not to return to the stated HOR is not a
means for changing a HOR. The applicant enlisted in Aug 85 and his
HOR was listed at that time. At some point in the applicant's
career, he was stationed in AK and at that time, he changed his
legal residence to AK. The applicant is entitled to his home of
selection (HOS) at retirement. HOS entitlements at retirement are
outlined in the Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR) and
applicable/consistent throughout DOD.
HQ AFPC/DPPAE’s complete evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 23 Feb 07 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C).
___________________________________________________________________
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 an 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 its 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.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to our understanding of the issue involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
___________________________________________________________________
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.

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. 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...
