AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

JUL  2 0  1998 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  97-03816 
COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

;Applicant requests that he be paid variable housing allowance  (VHA) 
and  basic  allowance  for  quarters  (BAQ) at  the  London, Kentucky, 
rates rather than the Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, rates where 
he is stationed.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A. 

On  21  November  1996,  the AFBCMR  favorably  considered  applicant's 
request  that  the  Enlisted  Performance  Report  (EPR)  closing 
24 January  1994  be  removed  from  his  records  and  that  a 
reaccomplished  report  be  substituted  in  its  place. 
The  Board 
further  recommended  that  the  applicant  be  provided  supplemental 
promotion consideration to the grade of  senior master  sergeant for 
all cycles for which the contested report was a matter of  record. 
(Exhibit C) 

The applicant was provided supplemental consideration for promotion 
and  was  selected  for  promotion  to  the  grade  of  senior  master 
sergeant.  He  was  subsequently  reinstated  on  active  duty  in  the 
higher grade.  (Exhibit C) 

The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and 
provided  an  advisory  opinion  to  the  Board  recommending  the 
application  be  denied  (Exhibit  D) . 
The  advisory  opinion  was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit E).  As 
of this date, no response has been received by this office. 
After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available  evidence  of  record,  we  find  insufficient  evidence  of 
error  or  injustice  to  warrant  corrective  action.  The  facts  and 
opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be  based  on the 
evidence of record and have not been rebutted by applicant.  Absent 
persuasive evidence applicant was denied rights to which entitled, 
appropriate regulations were not followed, or appropriate standards 
were not applied, we find no basis to disturb the existing record. 

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 

The Board  staff is directed to  inform applicant of  this decision. 
Applicant  should also be  informed that  this decision is final and 
will  only  be  reconsidered upon  the  presentation  of  new  relevant 
evidence  which  was  not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed. 

Members  of  the  Board,  Messrs.  Thomas  S.  Markiewicz,  Jackson  A. 
Hauslein, and  Michael  P.  Higgins, considered  this  application  on 
9  July  1 9 9 8   in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Air  Force 
Instruction 3 6 - 2 6 0 3   and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1 5 5 2 .

The member is requesting variable housing allowance (VHA) 

and basic allowance f o r   quarters (BAQ) at the London, Kentucky, 
rates rather than the Maxwell Air Force Base  (AFB), Alabama, rate 
where he is stationed.  The  applicant has filed a timely request. 

After the applicant reported to active duty, his VHA  was 

paid at the Maxwell AFB rate  ( $ 5 0 . 3 5   per month).  There is no VHA 
authorized for Bronston, Kentucky, the location of his home.  He 
did not live in London, Kentucky, to be authorized that rate. 
Since the date the member filed this application, he has sold the
