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 applicants 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 applicants
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.
