RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-02954
INDEX NUMBER: 113.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXX-XX-XXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
__________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His extended active duty (EAD) order, Special Order A-2009, dated 1
May 02, be amended to change his effective date of duty from 17 Jun
02 to 16 Jun 02.
__________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC) instructor instructed him
to arrive at his first duty station prior to 17 Jun 02 to ensure
that he reported in on time. Since he departed on 16 Jun 02, he was
not paid for his travel time.
The applicant’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit A.
__________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was commissioned a second lieutenant through the ROTC
on 19 May 02. According to a copy of his extended active duty
orders, Special Order A-2009, dated 1 May 02, he was ordered to
extended active duty with an effective date on or about 17 Jun 02
and a report not later than date of 18 Jun 02.
__________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAO recommends denial of the applicant’s request. Applicant
entered active duty on 17 Jun 02, 29 days after commissioning in
accordance with established Air Force policy. However, applicant
initiated travel on 16 Jun 02, prior to entering EAD. The EAD order
clearly outlines applicant’s reporting instructions in block 13,
specifically, “Effective date of duty is on or after 17 Jun 02. On
or after this date, proceed and report no later than 0800 hours on
18 Jun 02 to the 24 Hour arrival point at….”
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
__________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant responds to the Air Force evaluation by indicating
that his EAD orders does not state how many approximate days it
would take him to get to his assigned duty station. He states that
as a newcomer to the Air Force, the phrase “effective date of duty
is 17 Jun 02” meant that his first day of work was 17 Jun 02 and so
that is when he reported in.
The applicant states that travel regulations authorize one day of
travel for distances up to 350 miles. If there is an excess of 51
miles or more, you are authorized an additional day of travel. Even
though he misread his EAD orders, he should have been authorized two
days of travel vice the one he was given. Based on the requirement
to report no later than 0800 on 18 Jun 02, he would have had to
depart on 16 Jun 02. Examiner’s Note: AFPC/DPPAO advises that
although applicant should have been given two travel days, he still
departed before he was authorized. They note that based on the
applicant’s travel voucher, he only took one day to travel to his
duty station. They conclude that even if he had departed on 17 Jun
02, as authorized, he would have arrived prior to 18 Jun 02.
The applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit E.
__________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. The applicant asserts in his
rebuttal to the Air Force evaluation that he should have been given
two travel days vice the one he was given on his Extended Active
Duty (EAD) orders. The Board has confirmed that given the distance
the applicant had to travel, he should have been given two travel
days. The Board notes that although the applicant completed his
travel in one day, 16 Jun 02, one day before his authorized
effective date of duty, 17 Jun 02, it is reasonable to assume that
if the applicant had been given the two travel days he was entitled
to, he would have commenced his travel on or after 17 Jun 02.
Although the applicant only needed one day to complete his travel,
it appears that the incorrect travel days may have influenced the
date that the applicant decided to depart. We believe that any
doubt should be resolved in the applicant’s favor and that he should
be paid for the one day of travel that he used. Therefore, the
Board recommends that the applicant’s records be corrected as
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 the DD Form 1351-2,
Travel Voucher or Subvoucher, filed on 17 Jun 02, for travel under
Special Order A-2009, dated 1 May 02, be amended to reflect that he
departed Madison, Wisconsin on 17 Jun 02, vice 16 Jun 02, and
arrived at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri on 17 Jun 02, vice 16
Jun 02.
