RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-02688
		COUNSEL:  NONE
	XXXXXXX	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Military Personnel Appropriation (MPA) orders be extended.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His original tour of duty began on 27 Sep 2012 and was supposed 
to end on 14 Apr 2013.  However, due to a lack of airlift he was 
not able to leave his temporary duty location on time.  As a 
result, the combined rest and recuperation period and accrued 
leave exceeded the days built into the MPA authorization.  His 
request to extend his MPA orders was declined due to the lack of 
a 180-day per-diem waiver and the fact that the request was 
submitted "after the fact."

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of 
Special Order TE-0006 and AF Form 938, Request and Authorization 
for Active Duty Training/Active Duty Tour.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a Senior Airman (SrA, E-4) in the Air Force 
Reserve.  He participated in Special Mission Travel from Hill 
AFB, UT to Kunsan AB, Republic of Korea via Special Order TE-
0006 issued on 5 Oct 2012.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFRC FGC/FCS recommends approval. FGC/FCS states that the 
applicant’s request for a military orders amendment following 
his 30 Sep 2012 through 19 May 2013 deployment should have 
included provisions for 4 days of compensatory time and up to 
10 days of unscheduled personal time.  Moreover AFI 36-3003, 
Military Leave Program, authorizes members 2.5 days of leave for 
each month of active duty.  Based on the following analysis the
applicant’s orders ending on 19 May 2013 should be amended to 
end on 27 May 2013:

      Travel Dates:  30 Sep 2012 to 22 Apr 2013.
      
      Post deployment Downtime Earned: 14 days.
(22 Apr 2013 return date plus 14 days of downtime equates to 
6 May 2013).
      
      Leave Earned:  21 days. 
(22 Apr 2013 return date plus 14 days of downtime plus 21 days 
of earned leave equates to 27 May 2013)
      
      There is a difference of 8 days (from original orders 
end date [19 May 2013] to 27 May 2013).

The complete FGC/FCS evaluation is at Exhibit B.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 6 Sep 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  As of 
this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibits C).

________________________________________________________________

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.  The 
applicant contends his request to extend his MPA orders was 
declined due circumstances beyond his control.  After a thorough 
review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s complete 
submission, we believe it is in the interest of justice to 
recommend granting the requested relief.  Therefore, we agree 
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for 
our conclusion the applicant has been the victim of an error or 
injustice.  Accordingly, we recommend his records be corrected 
as set forth below.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the AF 
Form 938, Request and Authorization for Active Training/Active 
Duty Tour, Reserve Order No. D5A14N, dated 20121004, Item 14, 
Release Date, be amended to read 20130527 rather than 20130519.
