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."

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

performed on or after 2 9 Jan
