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.

If he had not received counseling by that Army official he would not have shipped his POV at his own expense. A review of the available evidence fails to reveal any evidence showing that the applicant was misinformed by Army officials regarding shipment of his POV. The applicant is not authorized reimbursement for shipment of his POV within the CONUS.
Based on travel documents provided by the applicant (Exhibit A), he departed Keflavic for Baltimore, MD on 2 Jul 00. While the Air Force recommends some reimbursement based on the approved GSA program, we believe the applicant, who acted in good faith, is entitled to full reimbursement for the costs he actually incurred for official travel.
