RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02543 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His duty history and duty station be corrected to reflect Creech 
Air Force Base (AFB) so he can file his travel voucher for a 
low-cost permanent change of station (PCS) move. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

1. He was working out of Creech AFB while assigned to the 99th 
Security Forces Squadron (SFS), Nellis AFB, NV during the period 
1 May 09 to 19 Nov 10. 

 

2. HQ AFPC would not accept his low-cost PCS move request 
because he had PCS orders to Vandenberg AFB, CA. He was 
informed that once he arrived at his new duty station, he could 
file for a correction of his military records to the AFBCMR. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of an 
AF Form 899, Request and Authorization for Permanent Change of 
Station – Military and a low-cost PCS request memorandum. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report (AB 
thru TSgt) ending 11 October 2010 reflects he was assigned to 
Creech and earned the first-ever 432d Wg “Creecher of the Month” 
award”. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ AFPC/DPAA5 makes no recommendation. DPAA5 contacted the 
office which would have processed the low-cost PCS move; 
however, they have no record of receiving or approving the 


request. Without sufficient evidence to confirm the applicant 
was assigned to Creech AFB, they are unable to make any changes 
to his duty history. 

 

The complete DPAA5 evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

The applicant provides copies of his AF Form 910, Enlisted 
Performance Report (AB thru TSgt), memorandum for record (MFR) 
from the security forces manager, and a low-cost PCS request 
memorandum as evidence in support of his application. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 warranting 
corrective action. The applicant requests his duty history be 
corrected to reflect he was assigned to Creech Air Force Base 
(AFB) so he can file his travel voucher for a low-cost PCS move. 
He contends that AFPC would not accept his low-cost PCS move 
request because he had PCS orders to California. After a 
thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant's 
complete submission, it appears the applicant may have suffered 
an injustice. In this respect, we note that in order 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 goods if provided a 
low-cost PCS. The evidence of record reflects the applicant 
submitted a low-cost move request on 22 Feb 10 and the security 
forces manager and his commander recommended approval. 
AFPC/DPAA5 notes that DPAPP3 would have been the office 
responsible for processing the low-cost move request; however, 
they have no record of receiving or approving his request. 
Although AFPC does not have any records of the low-cost move 
request, we find the evidence presented sufficient to conclude 
the applicant was assigned to Creech AFB. Accordingly, we 
recommend his 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: 

 

 a. The August 28, 2009, duty history entry be changed to 
reflect a PAS Code of “NJ1CFQTF” rather than “NJ1CFFXQ” and his 
DUTYLOC from “RKMF” to “LKTC“. 

 

 b. Competent authority directed a low-cost PCS move from 
Nellis AFB, NV to Creech AFB, NV. 

 

 c. DD Form 1351-2, Travel Voucher or Subvoucher will be 
filed with the nearest travel office to compute entitlement, but 
not paid, and sent to Defense Finance and Accounting Service-
Indianapolis for payment.
