             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.
