_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter
prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force. Accordingly,
there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of
Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Chief, Traffic Management Division, HQ USAF/ILTT, reviewed this
application and states that in accordance with the Joint Federal
Travel Regulation (JFTR), Volume I, paragraph U3120A, uniformed
service members are required to use a Commercial Travel Office
(CTO), in-house travel office or a General Services Administration
(GSA) Travel Management Center when arranging for official travel;
however, the use of mixed mode travel (combination of privately-
owned vehicle (POV) and commercial air) is one of the options as
prescribed in the JFTR Volume I, paragraph U5105E(2) when permanent
change of stationing (PCS) to/from overseas. The applicant elected
to personally procure common carrier transportation as prescribed
above and her travel expenses should be reimbursable up to what it
would cost the government to get her from the port of entry to her
new permanent duty station (PDS). HQ USAF/ILTT recommends the
applicant’s records be corrected reimbursing her $192.38, the
difference between the GSA contract-city fare of $300 minus $107.62
in travel allowance already paid her under voucher number, dated
5 Mar 00.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at
Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant reviewed the Air Force evaluation and provided a response,
indicating the Air Force evaluation has discrepancies.
Applicant’s complete response is attached at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. From the information
provided, it appears that the applicant was miscounseled concerning
PCS travel entitlements by the TMO office. It appears that she
relied on the miscounseling to her detriment. Therefore, we believe
approval of the requested relief would be appropriate. We have
noted the Air Force recommendation that the applicant’s total
reimbursement be a lesser amount than she actually spent based on
the requirements of the approved GSA program. However, we believe
that the applicant is entitled to full reimbursement for the monies
she spent based on the circumstances of her case, i.e., she was
provided erroneous advice by what she perceived to be proper and
reliable Air Force source(s) and was disadvantaged as a result.
Accordingly, her records should be corrected to the extent indicated
below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 12 Feb 00,
competent authority authorized the applicant to self-procure
commercial airline tickets from San Francisco, California, to
Dallas, Texas, for herself and two family members.
