AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Deputy, Traffic Management Division, Directorate of Transportation,
DCS/Installations & Logistics, HQ USAF/ILTT, reviewed this application and
states that the applicant was briefed by the SATO at Maxwell that he could
not be issued tickets due to leave enroute to TDY. He was told to self
procure his tickets and that he would be reimbursed for his expenses up to
the constructive transportation cost of about $560.00. This cost includes
$148.00 from Maxwell AFB to Brooks AFB, and $412.00 from Brooks AFB to
Columbus AFB. The applicant traveled from Los Angeles, CA to Brooks AFB,
TX and returned for $214.00. Upon the completion of his travels the
applicant filed his travel voucher at Columbus AFB, MS. Finance paid the
applicant $296.55 (member’s Malt) due to mix mode of travel. The member
was entitled to $148.00 for airfare from Maxwell to Brooks and $120.90 for
mileage from Brooks to Columbus for a total of $268.90. These amounts
exclude taxis and per diem. In accordance with the Joint Federal Travel
Regulations, paragraph U3350D, reimbursement may not be more than the cost
of the constructed transportation cost between authorized points.
Applicant received reimbursement for his travels. Therefore, they
recommend denial of applicant’s request.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation, with attachments, is attached
at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 16 March 2001 and 11 May 2001 a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within thirty (30) days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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. A majority of the Board finds
that from the information provided, it appears that the applicant was
miscounseled concerning his PCS/TDY travel entitlements. In view of the
fact that the applicant was new to the Air Force and had no prior PCS
experience, much less TDY experience, he relied on the miscounseling to his
detriment. Therefore, the majority of the Board believes approval of the
requested relief would be appropriate. The Board majority believes that
the applicant is entitled to full reimbursement for the monies he spent
based on the circumstances of this case, i.e., he was provided erroneous
advice by what he perceived to be proper and reliable Air Force source(s)
and was disadvantaged as a result. Accordingly, his records should be
corrected in the following manner.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 13 October 2000, competent
authority authorized the applicant to self-procure commercial airline
tickets from Los Angeles, CA, to Brooks AFB, TX, to Los Angeles, CA, and he
is entitled to reimbursement for the expenses incurred for his personally-
procured transportation, not to exceed $214.00.
