RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS. IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01244 XXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: The end date of his mobilization travel orders be extended from 14 December 2014 to 15 December 2014, and he receive pay, points and applicable benefits for the additional day. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Travel delays caused him to return to his home station later than originally planned and were not allocated for in the Manpower Military Personnel Appropriation Man-day Management System (M4S). Because the additional day was not reflected in M4S, the unit was not able to extend his orders in the Air Guard Reserve Orders Writing System (AROWS). The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving as a member of the Alabama Air National Guard in the grade of technical sergeant (E-6). On 16 December 2015, Order Number Z5V7NV, issued by the Alabama Air National Guard recalled the applicant to active duty in accordance with Title 10 United States Code, Section 12302, Ready Reserve, for the period of 8 April 2014 to 14 December 2014, in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is included at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: NGB/A1PR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. One purpose of a mobilization message is to provide a window of time during which members are ordered to service in support of the mobilization. Based on specific mobilization requirements outlined in the Deliberate Crisis Action Planning and Execution System, the actual dates of the mobilization will fall within the window of the mobilization message. These days are allocated for each person in M4S. Once the days are allocated in M4S to the ANG, the AROWS order can be published. It is important to note that the M4S allocation and AROWS order will not automatically be for the entire time on the mobilization message, as it is based on the requirements for each person/position. According to the member-filed travel voucher, the applicant arrived at his residence on 8 November 2014. According to the Air Combat Command Post-Deployment Downtime Guidance Memorandum, the applicant is entitled to 14 days of Post-deployment Stand Down Time (PDSDT), which began on 23 November 2014 and ended on 10 December 2014. Because the applicant is entitled to PDSDT, he is not authorized two days in-processing in accordance with AFI 36-2619, Military Personnel Appropriation Manday Program. The applicant accrued 18 days of leave during the period of active duty service. His last day on orders should have been 27 October 2014, which is the last day the applicant was on leave. Therefore he had sufficient time to utilize all 14 days PDSDT and 18 days accrued leave. The applicant’s original order end date was 14 December 2014 which was four days longer than the applicant should have been on orders. A complete copy of the NGB/A1PR evaluation, with attachments is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: On 19 February 2016, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.
