RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02780
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Travel Order Number AE-
034622 be amended to reflect PCS Identifier (ID) code V which
denotes PCS move with expenditure less than $1,000.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She completed a PCS reassignment from the Pentagon to Fort
George G. Meade, MD. She did not relocate household goods or
claim travel and dislocation allowances. She was not briefed by
her outbound assignments counselor that her PCS qualified as a
low-cost PCS.
Her Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) was reduced when she in-
processed at Fort Meade. She did not claim any PCS allowances;
therefore, she should have been allowed to retain her Pentagon
BAH.
Her predecessor PCSd in Jun 14 from the Defense Intelligence
Agency (DIA) at Bolling AFB, DC to Fort Meade, MD and he was
notified that he simply needed to submit a letter to retain his
BAH. Her case is similar.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to her AF Form 899, Request and Authorization for
Permanent Change of Station Military, Special Order Number AE-
034622 dated 19 Jan 11, she was reassigned to Fort Meade, MD
with a PCS ID code E.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAPSF recommends approval. Proper protocol was followed
in processing the applicants assignment. Air Force assignments
are made based on individual qualification, availability, and
equity, not cost. The low-cost PCS program is covered under AFI
36-2110, Airman Assignments, paragraph 2.50. It is not standard
operating procedure to seek low-cost volunteers. To be
considered for a low-cost PCS, the member has to specifically
ask for consideration and must provide a written statement that
he/she will not relocate their household if provided a low-cost
PCS. This did not occur in the applicants case. However the
applicant would have likely been approved for a low-cost PCS had
she known about the program and submitted the required
documents. Although the applicant had a fully funded PCS order
consistent with normal PCS selection criteria, she did not
change residence and a low-cost PCS would have been in the best
interest of both the applicant and the Air Force.
A complete copy of the DPAPSF evaluation is at Exhibit B.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 29 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
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 indicated below.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that her AF
Form 899, Request and Authorization for Permanent Change of
Station Military, Special Order AE-034622 dated 19 Jan 11, be
amended in Item 19, Authority and PCS Code, to reflect PCS ID
V.
