RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-03484
INDEX CODE: 128.12
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
MANDATORY COMPLETION DATE: 19 MARCH 2007
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His PCS order # AB-1089 be changed as follows:
1. Block 17 current address should read “;
2. Block 21, “PCS ID Code” should be changed from “C” (fully funded)
to “M” (No Cost) or “V” (Low Cost).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He neither moved his family or any household goods, nor was he paid or
reimbursed for moving his family or household. As a result of the error,
he is unable to receive Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) at his previous
rate, despite costing the Air Force nothing in moving expenses over two
permanent change of station (PCS) moves.
The applicant submits a copy of his PCS orders and copies of BAH approval
request letters (2), in support of his application.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data Systems (MilPDS)
indicates the applicant is presently serving on active duty in the grade of
major. He was assigned to the Pentagon on 25 April 2002 and then
reassigned to Maxwell AFB, AL, on 1 August 2004 to attend Air Command and
Staff College (ACSC). He was subsequently reassigned on 27 June 2005 from
Maxwell AFB, AL, to Ft George Meade, MD.
While assigned to the Pentagon, the applicant received the BAH rate for the
Washington DC area. He requested and was granted a waiver to continue to
receive the BAH rate for the Washington DC area while assigned to Maxwell
AFB, AL.
According to information extracted from the Basic Allowance for Housing
tables for 2005, the following rates apply to the different locations the
applicant was assigned:
a. Wash DC $2237.00
b. Montgomery, AL $1317.00
c. Fort Meade, MD $1856.00
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPAPB recommends denial.
DPAPB states the applicant was assigned to the Pentagon on 25 April 2002
then reassigned to Maxwell AFB, AL, on 1 August 2004, to attend Air Command
and Staff College. He was subsequently reassigned on 27 June 2005 from
Maxwell AFB, AL, to Ft George Meade, MD.
DPAPB explains even if the applicant’s request could be favorably
considered, it would not work in his favor. The BAH waiver authority
states that the member can request his previous duty stations BAH rate
versus the new permanent duty station if reassigned on a low- or no-cost
PCS. Since the applicant PCS’d from Maxwell AFB, AL, to Ft George Meade,
MD, he could only claim one or the other…not the Pentagon which was three
assignments ago.
DPAPB’s evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
In his response dated 4 January 2006, the applicant reiterates the details
pertaining to his two PCS moves and states the Air Force paid him only
mileage for both moves. He states the nearly $500 decline in his monthly
pay has made it very difficult for him to meet his expenses. He
understands BAH is pegged to duty station, not domicile, but having stayed
in place, yet losing pay seems wrong. The applicant’s rebuttal 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and the applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded
that his PCS ID Code should be changed. His contentions are duly noted;
however, while the applicant believes he has been the victim of an
injustice, he has not provided any evidence to show that the PCS ID Code in
question is in error. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of HQ AFPC/DPAPB and adopt their
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been
the victim of an error or injustice.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to
our understanding of the issues involved. Therefore, the request for a
hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
