7 July  1996  was  permissive  temporary  duty  (PTDY)  rather  than 
ordinary leave. 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

Her commander erroneously granted her permissive TDY prior  to her 
separation  from  active  duty. 
Two  days  prior  to  her  final 
outprocessing, her commander's error was discovered.  Her commander

The  Commander's  Programs  Branch,  AFPC/DPSFC,  stated  applicant's 
master  military  pay  account  (MMPA) shows 20  days  of  excess  leave 
since applicant's days of leave exceeded the days accrued as of the 
date of  release from active duty on 31 July 1996.  The MMPA  shows 
11 days of leave p r i o r   to 18 June 1996; 20 days of leave 18 June - 
7 July 1996  (which commander had erroneously approved as PTDY); and 
24 days of  terminal leave 8-31 July 1996.  The MMPA shows applicant 
had 11.5 days of leave on 1 October 1995 and earned 23 days. 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

The  Commander's  Programs  Branch,  AFPC/DPSFC,  reviewed  this 
application  and  recommended  denial,  stating  the  Transition

TAMP-eligible  members  include  certain 
involuntary  separatees,  retirees,  and  separatees  under  the 
voluntary separation incentive  (VSI) or special separation benefit 
(SSB)  program. 
Applicant  separated  under  normal  voluntary 
separation  provisions;  therefore,  she  is  not  TAMP-eligible.

The  Transition  Operations  Branch, AFPC/DPPTT,  recommended  denial

The  Claims  Branch,  DFAS-DE/FYCC, stated  a  review  of  applicant's 
military  pay  record  shows that  she was  on Ordinary  Type A  leave 
18 Jun  -  7 Jul  96,  and  on terminal  leave  8-31  July  9 6 .  
She did 
incur a debt due to excess leave.  (Exhibit E) 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant 
on  13  January 1 9 9 7   for review and comment within 30 days.  As  of 
this date, no response has been received by this office. 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

The  applicant has  exhausted all  remedies provided  by  existing 

1. 
law or regulations. 
2 .   The application was timely filed. 
3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented  to demonstrate 
the  existence  of  probable  injustice. 
In  this  regard,  the 
commander's erroneous permissive TDY authorization was not detected 
until  two  days  before  applicant's scheduled  departure.  Had  this 
information  been  available  to  the  applicant  when  she  was 
contemplating voluntary  separation, and  in view  of  the  fact  that 
she would not have had sufficient accrued leave to cover the entire 
career choice as 
period, 
to  her  actual  separation date.  In  our  opinion, it  would  be  an 
injustice to penalize  the applicant  for an error that  should have 
been  detected  when  she  initially  began  her  outprocessing. 
Therefore, to preclude any injustice to the applicant, we recommend 

we believe she may have made  a different

that  the  records  be  corrected  to  reflect  the  applicant  was  on 
permissive TDY status rather than ordinary leave status during the 
period in question. 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 
The pertinent military  records of  the Department of  the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that during the period 
-18 June 1996 through 7 July 1996, she was in a permissive temporary 
duty  (PTDY) status rather than ordinary leave (Type A) status.

    DPSFC stated that, if HQ AFPC/DPPRS agrees, the applicant’s retirement date should be changed from 1 Jul to 1 Sep 98. To grant the applicant additional active duty time to use 77 days of leave, his retirement date would have to be extended by 3 full months. Given the lost opportunity, and the change of circumstances, he was not even able to zero out the leave and permissive TDY days prior to 1 Jul 98.
