AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

SEP  2 3  1998 

<

.

 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  98-00756 
COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  YES 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

He be awarded travel pay entitlement. 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

He was  denied travel and lodging pay because he traveled to his 
duty station 6 days prior to the start date of his orders. 

The  applicant  states  he  traveled  early  to  expedite  his  move, 
house  hunting,  in-processing,  and  to  start  work  as  soon  as 
possible. 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provided a travel voucher 
and a Extended Active Duty Order. 

Applicant's complete submission is attached at Exhibit A. 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

On  1 May  1997, the applicant was  appointed a second lieutenant, 
Reserve  of  the  Air  Force  and  voluntarily  ordered  to  extended 
active duty  (EAD) on 29 January 1998. 

B 

The applicant made a permanent change of station (PCS) to Andrews 
AFB arriving 25 January 1998. 

The EAD orders stated the effective date of duty was on or after 
29 January  1998,  and  to  report  not  earlier  than  0600  on 
1 February 1998.  The orders specifically stated "Early report'ing 
to the permanent duty station is not authorized." 

98- 00756 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
Legislation  Division, 
The  Chief,  Military  Compensation  & 
Directorate  of  Personnel  Programs,  Education  and  Training,  HQ 
AF/DPPC, reviewed this application and states that the applicant 
stated he  had  been  in close contact with  his  future  co-workers 
and was aware of a large backlog of work; and traveled early to 
expedite his move  and  start work  as soon as possible.  This is 
not  sufficient  justification  for  contravening  a  written  order. 
They called the applicant and asked if he could provide a letter 
from  his  supervisor  or  commander  showing  he  was  requested  to 
report early.  He provided a letter from the Associate Director, 
Medical Service.  Her letter restated what the applicant said on 
his  application, but did not  indicate that anyone in a position 
of authority had  requested him to report before  the report date 
on  the  orders.  In  light  of  the  information  provided  by  both 
ZndLt C  and  Lt Col C,  they  recommend the board  disapprove this 
request. 

A  complete  copy  of  the  Air  Force  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 27 April 1998, for review and response 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. 

1 

3.  Sufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to 
demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.  After 
reviewing  the  evidence  of  record,  we  are  persuaded  that  the 
applicant should be  entitled  to payment  for permanent  change of 
station  (PCS) travel.  In this respect, it appears the applicant 
may not have been aware that he could not report early to his PCS 
station.  Also,  it appears he  performed  military  duties during 
the  period  in  question. 
In  view  of  the  above  findings,  we 
believe  that  it  would  be  unduly  harsh  to  deny  him  travel pay. 
Therefore, we  recommend his  records be  corrected  to the  exYent 
indicated below. 

. 

98- 00756 

The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not 
4 .  
been  shown  that  a  personal  appearance  with  or  without  counsel 
will  materially  add  to  our  understanding  of  the  issue(s) 
involved.  Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered. 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT, be co 
change of station travel fro 
performed on or after 2 9   Jan 
new permanent duty station not earlier than 0600 on 1 February 
1998,  and, that he be authorized payment for his travel. 

The following members of the Board considered this application in 
Executive  Session on  2 8   July  1998,  under  the provisions  of AFI 
36- 2603: 

Mr. Michael P. Higgins, Panel Chair
