RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-03169
            INDEX:  112.01
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home  of  Record  (HOR)  be  changed  from  Bethlehem,  Pennsylvania  to
Brandon, Florida.
_________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

After he left for active duty his parents moved out of state and he  has  no
further connection to his original HOR.  His wife is from Florida  and  that
is where they want to be after his time with the Air Force.

In support of his appeal, he submitted a copy of his marriage license and  a
personal statement.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty  in  the  grade  of  first
lieutenant.

The AF Form 766, Extended Active Duty Order, dated 30 Apr  05  reflects  his
HOR as Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends the requested relief be denied.  DPSOA states the  HOR
is defined as the place recorded as the home  of  the  service  member  when
commissioned, appointed, enlisted,  inducted  or  ordered  into  a  tour  of
active duty.  It can only be changed if there is a break in service  of  one
full day or a bona fide error was made in recording  the  information  given
by the service member.  DPSOA  further  states  there  is  no  evidence  the
applicant’s HOR is incorrect.  He was not  commissioned  in  and  placed  on
active duty in Florida and may not choose Florida as his HOR.  If he  serves
until minimum retirement eligibility he will be eligible to  choose  Florida
as his home of selection and receive entitlements.

The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 7  Dec
07, for review and response 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.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of an error or an injustice.   Applicant’s  contentions  are  duly
noted; 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 an 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.
