IN THE CASE OF:  

		BOARD DATE:  3 May 2021

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20210005053


APPLICANT REQUESTS: in effect, correction of his records to show he was authorized 
an extension of his Travel and Transportation entitlements.

APPLICANT'S SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD:

*	DD Form 149 (Application for Correction of Military Record)
*	Orders Number 258-0166, issued by the U.S. Army Installation Management 
	Command, dated 15 September 2017
*	Unofficial Transcripts for the applicant's son

FACTS:

1. The applicant states he was denied his transportation entitlements due to time 
restrictions. He retired in August 2018 and remained in his quarters on base while his 
son finished college. He is authorized one year upon separation to use these services, 
with an extension of one year possible, which would make two years. He is still within 
that window.

2.  The applicant's official records show:

   a.	On 2 July 1998, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Army and served 
continuously.

   b.	A birth certificate, dated 27 March 2001, shows the name of his son as S-.

   c.	DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), ending on 
31 July 2018, which reflects he was honorably retired from active duty, due to sufficient 
service for retirement. He completed 20 years and 25 days of net active service.

3.  The applicant provides:

   a.	Orders Number 258-0166, issued by the U.S. Army Installation Management 
Command, Headquarters, U.S. Army Garrison Command, Fort Knox, KY, dated 
15 September 2017, which states he was being reassigned due to separation 
processing, with a retirement/separation dated of 31 July 2018. He was placed on the 
retirement list effective 1 August 2018. This letter also states, "You are authorized up to 
one year to complete selection of a home and complete travel in connection with this 
action. You are authorized shipment of household goods, and he was authorized 
dependents."

b.	Unofficial transcripts for his son S-, for the period of 19 January 2018 to 
11 May 2020. 


BOARD DISCUSSION:

After reviewing the application and all supporting documents, the Board found that relief 
was warranted.  Based on the documentation available for review, the Board concluded 
that the date of his son’s graduation was an event beyond the Service member's 
control. In using the approximate date on the unofficial transcripts showing an end date 
of 11 May 2020, evidence is sufficient to determine that the applicant was within the 
two-year timeframe, and as such, should be allowed HHG transportation from his last 
permanent duty station to his Home of Selection (HOS).

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION: 
 
The Board determined evidence was sufficient to warrant relief. As a result, the Board 
recommends an extension to the authorization for the shipment of the applicant’s 
household goods from his last permanent duty station to the Service Member's Home of
Selection (HOS). 
 
 
 


 
I certify that herein is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the 
Army Board for Correction of Military Records in this case.


?
REFERENCE:

Joint Travel Regulation section 052013 C1 (Household Good (HHG) Transportation in 
Connection with Retirement) states a Service member is authorized HHG transportation 
from the last permanent duty station to the Service Member's Home of Selection (HOS). 
Extensions may be granted through the Secretarial process for an unexpected event 
beyond the Service member's control that occurs and that prevents him or her from 
moving to the HOS within the specified time limit. Time limit extensions may be 
authorized or approved only for the specific period of time the Service member 
anticipates is needed to complete the move.
