INDEX CODE: 121.03
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 19 Dec 07
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Twenty (20) days of leave be restored.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was applying for an exception to policy for permissive temporary
duty (PTDY); however, her request did not get approved prior to the
start of her leave date.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit
A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
AFI 36-3003, Table 7, Rule 33 indicates that a unit commander may
approve PTDY for up to 30 days if a member requests it to participate
or train in sports, recreation and talent events officially conducted
or sponsored by elements of the Air Force, inter-Service
organizations, or DOD, or to participate in regional, national, or
international sports events pre-approved by HQ AFSVA/SVPAF. Section
F, paragraph 12.2. instructs unit commanders to send, as an exception
to policy, requests for PTDY reasons not found in Table 7 or paragraph
12.8. through command channels (the Major Command submits
recommendations and reasons for approval or disapproval) to HQ
AFPC/DPFFOC for a recommendation and to HQ USAF/DP for a final
determination. Requests are to be submitted early enough to allow
sufficient time for processing.
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the
grade of airman first class (A1C).
She apparently was selected to tour with the Women’s National
Basketball Association (WNBA) Houston Comets exhibition team from
28 Oct to 16 Nov 05. The available documentation does not indicate
when she was selected/notified.
Around 25 Oct 05, the applicant’s section commander requested that she
be approved for PTDY as an exception to policy (AFI 36-3003, Table 7,
Rule 33, participation in sports, recreation and talent events). The
wing commander approved the request on 26 Oct 05.
According to Emails provided by the applicant, her squadron was unable
to get the PTDY package processed/approved prior to her leaving to
tour with the team. Around 3 Nov 05, her unit inquired with Pacific
Air Forces (PACAF) as to the status of the package. The request
apparently was forwarded to and denied by HQ AFPC because it was
submitted after the applicant left on ordinary leave and/or
insufficient time was allowed for staffing.
The applicant was approved for and used 20 days of leave while on the
tour during Fiscal Year 2006 (FY06).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPF recommends denial because the applicant was not
representing the Air Force in a DOD-sanctioned event or role.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 31 Mar 06 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit
C). 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice to warrant restoring 20 days of
leave to the applicant’s account. The applicant was selected to tour
with the WNBA Houston Comets exhibition team from 28 Oct to 16 Nov 05.
Her section and wing commanders supported her request for PTDY as an
exception to policy. However, due to the short notice selection, her
squadron was unable to obtain approval for the PTDY package prior to
her departure with the tour. As indicated in the commanders’
supporting statements, allowing the applicant to tour in PTDY status
acknowledges her talent and instills pride in the services. Had there
been sufficient time for processing, we are confident the applicant
would have been allowed to tour during 28 Oct and 16 Nov 05 in PTDY
status. Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected
to reflect 20 days of leave were added to her current leave account.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that twenty (20) days
of leave were added to her current leave account.
