This Air Staff advisory opinion is submitted in reference to
1.
subject application, dated 6 Jul 93.
2. Background:
a. The Do-It-Yourself (DITY) program for the shipment of
personal property by members of the Armed Forces is authorized by
Title 37, United States Code. This provision authorizes the
payment of a monetary allowance to members of the Armed Forces as
an incentive to move their personal property by privately owned or
rental vehicles under programs established by the Secretaries
concerned. Regulatory implementation of this program is found in
the Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), Volume I, Chapter 5,
Part D.
b. Paragraph U5320-E of the J F T R provides, in part, that a
member will be paid an amount commensurate with 80 percent of what
it would have cost the government to ship the property actually
moved by the member, not to exceed his/her authorized weight
allowance, provided the move is authorized in advance by the
office designated for that purpose by the Service concerned.
c. Air Force Regulations, promulgated pursuant to the above
authority, are contained in AFR 75-25, dated 23 Mar 90, Chapter
11, Subject: Do-It-Yourself (DITY) Program. AFR 177-102 ala0
applies .
d. Our inquiry into
case revealed that she made
a separation move on 30 June and 1 July 1992 in the local area of
Carson, CA. She submits that she wgs counseled over the phone
about the provisions of making a DITY move, but at n
e
asked to complete a DD Form 2278 prior to the move.
has followed all the provisions of a DITY move.
Since there were
extenuating circumstances in her move, we support her request to
receive an incentive payment for the property moved.
3 . If you agree with this staff advisory,-arecords
should be corrected to reflect she received approval in advance to
perform a DITY, DD Form 2278 (Application for Do-It-Yourself Move
the regulations concerned . F'urther,
and Counseling Checklist) was completed, and proper counseling was
conducted in acco
incentive be based on the
we recommend that
transportation rates in effect in June/July 1992. The following is
provided :
packing allowance.
a. Rate: $12.00 per hundred pounds(cwt) = $7.00 + $5.00
b. Total net weight: 4,680 lbs. = 46.8 cwt -
