RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-05040

 					COUNSEL:  NONE

					HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His permanent change of station (PCS) orders, AH-043323, be 
changed to show that he was in a temporary duty (TDY) status 
while attending Joint Military Attaché School (JMAS).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His PCS orders were generated in error.  The orders should have 
stated he was TDY enroute; however, the losing installation 
along with the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) published the 
orders for a PCS.  The losing installation stated they could not 
correct the order as they had maxed out the allowable number of 
amended orders.  In order to make the change, they would need to 
cancel his assignment and generate new orders.  This course of 
action would have put him in jeopardy of losing the assignment.  
This error has caused him and his family a great deal of stress.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is active duty serving in the grade of master 
sergeant.

Documentation provided by the applicant reflects he received PCS 
orders to Washington DC, with a report date of 28 April 2014.   
An amendment was published to authorize him to wear civilian

and to authorize concurrent travel of dependents.  A second 
amendment was published to add the fund cite for the JMAS 
training.

contained in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibits C 
and D.

notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
