RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01920
XXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be issued travel orders for his dependents relocation from
Fayetteville, NC, to Niceville, FL while he was on Indeterminate
Temporary Duty (ITDY) orders.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
On 30 June 2013, his family moved to Florida with the
understanding that the amendments to his ITDY orders covered
travel and allowances for his family. However, due to an error
in the issuance of amendments to his ITDY orders, he was not
reimbursed for his dependents travel.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
In a letter dated 11 April 2005, SAF/MRM authorized travel and
transportation allowances for dependents relocation due to a
members ITDY.
The applicant performed ITDY in accordance with Special Order
TE-0443 dated 27 Jul 2012.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
USAF/A1PA recommends approval. There was an error when the
applicant was given the impression by the Force Support Squadron
(FSS) that his orders were an authorization for dependent travel
and transportation allowances. In 2012, the applicant was
assigned to a unit in North Carolina when he was issued orders
to deploy to Afghanistan on an ITDY. On 1 May 2013, he contacted
the FSS to request dependent travel orders to exercise the option
to relocate his dependents while performing ITDY. As a result
of the issuance of the May 2013 amended order (AF Form 973,
Request and Authorization for Change of Administrative Orders),
the applicant assumed there was a valid dependent travel
authorization. The amendment correctly references the SAF/MRM
memorandum that was issued in 2005 to approve adding dependent
relocation travel and transportation allowances to orders. On
30 Jun 2013, the applicants dependents relocated from North
Carolina to Florida while he was deployed to Afghanistan. Since
dependent travel orders were not issued using AF Form 937,
Request and Authorization for Dependent(s) Travel, the
applicants request for reimbursement could not be processed.
The complete A1PA evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 4 August 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicants counsel for review and comment
within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received
by this office (Exhibit C).
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
