RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00984 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

All three of his 2007-2009 mobilization orders be corrected to 
reflect a proper approving official to allow him to collect 
travel entitlements. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His mobilization orders should be amended to reflect a proper 
approving official. He was involuntarily mobilized and performed 
the duty under Title 10 status with a mobilization line number. 
The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) indicated the 
travel entitlements were proper; however, the orders must be 
amended to reflect a proper approving official in accordance with 
the Joint Federal Travel Regulation. Near the end of his 
mobilization, he received a debt letter from the Arizona United 
States Property & Fiscal Officer (USPFO). 

 

His orders were submitted with 50 plus other guardsmen; however, 
the orders were published with his name on them as approving 
official without his consent. 

 

He has requested action from his former Commander, the Assistant 
Adjutant General; however, he stated there was an Air Force Audit 
going on and he would not take any action until the audit was 
complete. 

 

The applicant requests these orders be corrected so he can 
provide the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA) with a 
proper appeal package. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal 
letter, copies of a memo from DFAS, his DD Form 214, Certificate 
of Release or Discharge from Active Duty and his special orders. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

 

 


STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant retired from the ANG in the grade of colonel. 

 

Based on the information submitted by the applicant, he was 
placed on mobilization orders from 4 December 2007 until 
31 December 2008. His orders were later amended to extend his 
date until 2 December 2009. AFI 65-103, Temporary Duty Orders, 
states the approving official (AO) cannot be the traveler. Since 
the applicant was the AO and the traveler, the orders are 
invalid. 

 

On 11 February 2010, DFAS informed the applicant his orders were 
invalid because he cannot be the traveler and the approval 
official. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has not 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 an error or injustice. Prior to 
seeking relief from this Board, the applicant should exhaust all 
remedies provided by existing laws or regulations. The applicant 
has not provided sufficient evidence to show that he cannot 
received the relief he seeks through proper administrative 
channels. Of additional concern to the Board is the applicant’s 
statement that his former commander declined to help resolve the 
issue until an audit is completed. Until such time as he has 
exhausted all available administrative remedies, we find no basis 
to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of 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.
