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 
member’s 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 applicant’s 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 
applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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 
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.  Having 
carefully reviewed this application, we agree with the 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision 
that the applicant has been the victim of either an error or an 
injustice.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant's 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 is corrected to show that competent 
authority authorized the issuance of AF Form 937, Request and 
Authorization for Dependent(s) Travel, for the travel of his 
dependents from Fayetteville, NC, to Niceville, FL in connection 
with his Indeterminate Temporary Duty performed in accordance 
with Contingency, Exercise and Deployment Order TE-0443 dated 
27 July 2012.
