AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSFM states AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, para 6.19,
states the Financial Services’ Office (FSO) computes leave or
authorized absences in excess of allowed travel time, permissive
temporary duty (PTDY), and proceed time, if applicable. The
applicant was not present for duty or TDY during this timeframe. The
FSO correctly charged the applicant 35 days of leave. Furthermore,
the Minot MPF has taken steps to reeducate their passport agent to
prevent any future occurrences of this type. Based on the information
provided they recommend the applicant’s request to have his leave
restored by denied.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 1
Jun 01, for review and response. 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 an error or injustice. After reviewing the evidence
of record, we are persuaded that the applicant was miscounseled
concerning going on leave prior to his PCSing. He was instructed that
since his passport was not ready to go on leave and that his passport
would be forwarded to his leave address. Based on the fact that was
misinformed by the MPF technician, we recommend his records 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 21 days of leave were
added to his leave account commencing 1 October 2003.
