RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-00053
INDEX CODE: 128.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be reimbursed for travel expenses incurred from a temporary duty
assignment (TDY) from Los Angeles, CA to Brooks AFB, TX.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
While he was aware that he would have to purchase the airline tickets
himself, he was informed that he would be reimbursed for his travel cost
from Maxwell to Brooks to Columbus.
In support of his application the applicant submits a personal statement
and various documents relative to the issue (Exhibit A).
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a Reserve Officer serving on extended active duty in the
grade of second lieutenant. He was voluntarily ordered to extended active
duty on 17 November 2000. Following completion of Officer Training School
at Maxwell AFB, AL, he was transferred Permanent Change of Station (PCS) to
Columbus AFB, MS, with TDY enroute at Brooks AFB, TX.
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 Traffic Management Division, USAF/ILTT, reviewed the case and
recommended disapproval. Upon completion of his travels, the applicant’s
actual expenses came to $741.25. The government’s constructive cost was up
to $560.00. Finance paid the applicant a total of $412.25 due to the mixed
mode of travel. ILTT indicates that according to the Joint Federal Travel
Regulation (JFTR), reimbursement may not be more than the cost of the
constructive transportation cost between authorized points and recommends
denial of the applicant’s request (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for
review and response. As of this date, this office has received no
response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice. The applicant was briefed by
SATO that he could not be issued government travel tickets due to his leave
status enroute to his temporary duty assignment. He was told to self
procure his tickets and that he would be reimbursed for his travel expenses
up to the government’s constructive cost. In view of the above, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion
that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of probable material error or injustice; that the application
was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will
only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant
evidence not considered with this application.
