RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03160 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Permanent Change of Station (PCS) code on his extended 
active duty (EAD) orders be changed from PCS code A, which 
denotes “Accession Move” to PCS code V, which denotes “Low Cost 
Move” so he can apply for a Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) 
Waiver. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

1. In 2009, the Air Force implemented a program to allow retired 
rated officers to return to active duty via the “Retired Rated 
Recall” program. 

 

2. On 17 May 10, he was voluntarily ordered to EAD in accordance 
with (IAW) Title 10, U.S.C., 688a and was authorized a fully 
funded PCS move from Aurora, Colorado to Peterson Air Force Base 
(AFB), Colorado. He never intended on moving to Colorado 
Springs and was assured that he would be allowed to commute. 
Had he known about the BAH waiver or low cost PCS move when he 
received his orders, he would have requested the change prior to 
moving. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his 
PCS orders and a personal statement. 

 

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

 

_______________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 9 Sep 11, AFPC/DPSIPR notified the applicant that as an 
accession, he received orders to travel to his first permanent 
duty station; not between permanent duty stations. 

 

 

 

 


The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, 
extracted from the applicant’s master personnel records, are 
described in the letters prepared by the Air Force offices of 
responsibility (OPR) which are attached at Exhibits C and D. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIP recommends denial. DPSIP states changing the PCS 
code on the applicant’s EAD orders from A to V is neither 
authorized nor appropriate. By definition, PCS code V is a Low 
Cost Move –“member is moving between permanent duty stations.” 
In other words, a member must be on active duty, assigned to a 
permanent duty station and subsequently receive orders for a PCS 
move to a second duty station in order to execute a Low Cost 
move. 

 

The complete DPSIP evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

AF/A1PA recommends denial. A1PA states that as an ANG member 
recalled to active duty, the applicant is accurately classified 
as an Accession. Therefore, the PCS code A applies. 

 

The complete A1PA evaluation is at Exhibit D. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 17 Jul 12 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit E). As of this date, this office has not received a 
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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We took notice 
of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of 
the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 
of the offices of primary responsibility (OPRs) and adopt their 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not 
been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 


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 issue(s) 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 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.
