        (2) Subject’s naval record 
 
1.  Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board), requesting that his naval record be corrected to establish entitlement to reimbursement of personally procured move (PPM).

The Board, consisting of  reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 13 May 2021 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record.  Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, relevant portions of Petitioner’s naval record, and applicable statutes, regulations and policies. 
 
3.  The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice, found that, before applying to this Board, he exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.  The Board made the following findings: 
 
     a.  On 20 November 2019, Petitioner issued permissive travel orders for temporary duty (TAD) to the  Internship program in  approximately 151 days; 22 December 2019 through 22 May 2020.   
 
     b.  On 17 December 2019, Petitioner obtained certified truck scale weight of 24,120 pounds in  
      c.  On 23 December 2019, Petitioner obtained certified truck scale weight of 29,500 pounds in 
  
     d.  On 13 May 2020, Petitioner’s Command extended his TAD period to the  Internship program in O to 180 days; conclusion date of 17 June 2020. 
 
     e.  On 20 August 2020, Petitioner issued BUPERS Order:  2330 (Official Separation Order); detaching activity  effective date of separation 22 September 2020; place elected for travel  
 
     f.  On 22 September 2020, Petitioner honorably discharged upon completion of required active service. 
                                
CONCLUSION 
 
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action.  In accordance with reference (b), there was no authority for Petitioner to execute a PPM prior to separation.  However, in light of the Internship program, Petitioner’s entitlement to travel and transportation allowances to home of record upon discharge and the move occurred within the same fiscal year of the  funding authorization, the Board felt, relief is warranted.
