       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-00571
			COUNSEL:  NONE
	XXXXXXXXXX	HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Home of Record (HOR) be changed from Knoxville, TN to New 
Orleans, LA.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

In August 2005, he had to relocate from his home in New Orleans 
to Knoxville for approximately one year due to Hurricane 
Katrina.  Prior to leaving for Basic Military Training (BMT) he 
was able to move back to New Orleans.  His immediate family 
lives in New Orleans and he has no family connections in 
Knoxville.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular 
Air Force on 14 December 2006.  His DD Form 4, Enlistment - 
Reenlistment Document, reflects Knoxville, TN as his HOR.


THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial.  After a thorough review of the 
applicant's military personnel record and other supporting 
documentation, there appears to be no error or injustice 
regarding the applicant’s HOR.  Joint Federal Travel Regulation 
Volume I, Appendix A1, Part 1, states in part that a HOR is the 
place recorded as the individual’s home when commissioned, 
appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active 
duty.  Any correction must be fully justified and the home, as 
corrected, must be the member’s actual home upon entering the 
Service, and not a different place selected for the member's 
convenience.  The applicant's DD Form 4, reflects Knoxville, TN 
as his HOR.

The complete DPSIPE evaluation, with attachment is at Exhibit C.




APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 8 May 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  As of 
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit 
D).


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 the 
rationale expressed as the basis for our conclusion the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error or 
injustice.  Should the applicant provide official documentation 
to substantiate that he was displaced due to Hurricane Katrina, 
we would be willing to reconsider his request.  In view of the 
above and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 
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.



The following members of the Board considered this application 
in Executive Session on 15 January 2015, under the provisions of 
AFI 36-2603:
