                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2006-02428
            INDEX CODE:  112.05

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  15 FEB 08

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  His extended active duty (EAD) orders be corrected to show his EAD  date
as 10 June 2006 rather than 17 June 2006.

2.  His wife’s travel across the country from his home of  record  (HOR)  be
covered by the Air Force as a necessary and reimbursable expense.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was not properly informed that he could not travel to his base  prior  to
his EAD date.

In support of his request, the applicant provided a personal  statement  and
documents extracted from his military personnel records.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on extended active duty in the  grade  of
second lieutenant.

An AF IMT Form 766, Extended Active Duty Order, reflects the effective  date
of duty as 17 June 2006, with two days travel time.  The  order  states  “DO
NOT ARRIVE PRIOR TO YOUR EFFECTIVE DATE OF DUTY.”

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAO states considering  the  fact  that  the  applicant  did  receive
conflicting information from the Executive Officer of  the  9th,  Operations
Group about his  reporting  to  Beale  AFB  prior  to  his  EAD  date;  and,
considering the fact that the Military Personnel Flight  (MPF)  allowed  the
applicant to sign in prior to his return no later than  date  (RNLTD),  they
recommend that his EAD orders be amended to reflect  14  June  2006  as  his
date of duty.  DPPAO further states that  the  applicant  has  not  provided
proof that he was authorized to travel early.  All indications are  that  he
was thoroughly  briefed  not  to  travel  before  his  date  of  duty.   The
applicant  provided  the  information  to  his  detachment   personnel   for
preparation of his EAD orders listing his address as Los Angeles, CA,  which
only authorized two days travel time to Beale AFB.

The DPPAO complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant reviewed the evaluation and states that in an email from  AFPC
dated 21 March 2006, it was stated that his EAD date was 10 June  2006.   He
was not given the option of traveling to Beale AFB from his home  of  record
in Virginia.  Instead, he was told that he had to depart from  Los  Angeles,
limiting his authorized travel time to two days.  Under the impression  that
he had two days to travel and would be coming from  his  HOR  with  his  new
bride, he asked that his EAD date be moved to 17 June 2006.  This  date  was
confirmed and changed.  It was stated  that  he  received  a  Memorandum  of
Instruction clearly stating not to travel prior to  his  EAD  date  or  risk
forfeiture of travel pay.  He does not remember receiving  that  memorandum.
The regulations behind EAD dates were not adequately communicated.   He  was
not fully  informed  on  all  options  regarding  EAD  dates  and  departure
locations.  The lack of clarity he encountered led him to  believe  that  he
was acting in accordance with regulation and doing the right thing,  at  the
right time, and with right intentions.

Applicant’s response, with attachments, 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 an error or injustice  warranting  partial  relief.   Applicant
requests his EAD date be changed to 10 June 2006 rather than  17  June  2006
and that his wife’s travel  be  a  reimbursable  expense.   The  applicant’s
contentions regarding these matters are duly  noted;  however,  noting  that
the applicant was provided orders which clearly state “DO NOT  ARRIVE  PRIOR
TO YOUR EFFECTIVE DATE OF DUTY” as well as having  been  verbally  cautioned
regarding early departure, we are not persuaded that  granting  his  request
in its entirety is warranted.  Nevertheless, in view of  the  fact  that  he
received conflicting information and was allowed to sign-in upon  his  early
arrival, we agree with the recommendation of  the  Air  Force  that  partial
relief is appropriate.  Accordingly, we recommend his 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 he entered extended active  duty  on
14 June 2006, rather than 17 June 2006.
