MEMORANDUM FOR  SAFMIBR 

FROM:  HQ USAF/ILTT

The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), para U5804 (Eligibility), states in part:  “A 

member is entitled to store one privately owned vehicle (POV), at a storage facility designated by 

the Service concerned, if the member is ordered to make a PCS  to a foreign OCONUS PDS and 

the laws, regulations, or other restrictions imposed by a foreign country or the United States 

preclude shipment or entry of a motor vehicle at government expense into that foreign country.” 

Additionally, para U5815.B. 1 (Personally Procured Storage) states in part:  “An eligible member 

is reimbursed for expenses incurred provided commercial storage facilities are used.”  However, 

the Personal Property Consignment Instruction Guide (PPCIG) for 

tates in para 3.A that 

“(P)ersonnel in grades E-6 and above assigned to the 

are entitled to 

ship one POV regardless of type of tour (accompaniedunaccompanied).” The premise of 

BCMR is that she was counseled by the Traffic Management Office (TMO) 

that she was authorized her to store her POV and was provided a memo dated 17 Nov 

97 (atch 1) authorizing her to personally procure commercial storage for her POV.  Further 

evidence indicating a mistake had been made is an e-mail (atch 2) sent to AF/ILTT by 

AETC/LGTT admitting an error had been made on the part of the TMO counselor in authorizing

storage of her POV at Government expense.  Also, an e-mail (atch 3) from 51FW/JA indicates 

the Finance Office 

eimburse-or 

3 months storage prior to terminating 

said payments.  Because she had less than 12 months remaining on her tour, shipping her POV to 

2 

was no longer a viable option. 

In view of the above we strongly recommend the Board support 

claim for 

reimbursement.
