                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2008-00323
            INDEX CODE:  131.01, 107.00
            COUNSEL:  NOT INDICATED

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Home of  Record  (HOR)  be  changed  from  Annapolis,  Maryland  to
Amarillo, Texas.
_________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was a Texas resident living in Maryland when she  enlisted  in  the
Air force.  Her HOR was updated to the address where she lived when she
joined the Air Force.  After joining the Air Force, she changed her HOR
with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, but did not  submit  a
formal request through the personnel system to change her HOR.

In support of the appeal, the applicant submits a copy of her  DD  Form
4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, Armed Forces of the United States,
and a copy of her Leave and Earnings Statement.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant contracted her initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force on
20 Sep 00.  DD Form  4/1,  Enlistment/Reenlistment  Document,  reflects
Annapolis, Maryland, as her HOR.  She reenlisted on 20 Nov  03,  for  a
term of 4 years and 10 months.  Her DD Form 4/1  reflects  her  HOR  as
Annapolis, Maryland.

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  military  personnel  record  to
determine transportation entitlements upon separation.  The HOR can  be
changed only if there has been a break  in  service  of  one  full  day
(inactive reserve time is not counted as a break in service) or a  bona
fide error was made in recording the information given by the member.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial and states in part,  that  the  applicant
has failed to show the HOR is incorrect, but only wishes to change her
HOR for personal reasons.  Additionally, she states  she  changed  her
status  after  entering  the  military.   The  applicant  enlisted  in
Maryland and may not choose Texas as her HOR.

The DPSOA evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the  applicant  on
28 Mar 08, 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.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate
the existence of an error or injustice.   Applicant’s  contentions  are
duly noted; however, she has provided no evidence which would  lead  us
to believe the HOR currently reflected in her records  was  incorrectly
recorded at  the  time  she  was  initially  ordered  to  active  duty.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis
upon which to recommend favorable action on this application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The  applicant  be  notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did   not
demonstrate the existence of probable 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.
