________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His date arrived station (DAS) at Maxwell Air Force Base (AFB) be 
changed from 28 February 2012 to his original DAS of 
3 September 2008. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He went through his chain of command to have this issue 
rectified and was advised by the commander and the AFPC 
assignment superintendent to submit a DD Form 149, Application 
for Correction of Military Record Under the Provisions of Title 
10, U.S. Code, Section 1552, to have his DAS reinstated to its 
original date of September 2008. 

 

He arrived at Maxwell AFB on 3 September 2008 for a special duty 
assignment as a professional military education (PME) instructor 
at the Air and Space Basic Course (ASBC). He was placed in a 
code 50 status which meant his assignment would expire in 
September 2012. In June 2011, ASBC closed. In July 2011, he 
applied for an assignment and received notification that he was 
going to Yokota Air Base (AB) Japan. He was cleared to receive 
a top secret (TS) clearance and was also medically cleared for 
his permanent change of station (PCS) by the medical squadron 
and the mission support squadron. 

 

One week after his arrival at Yokota AB, the medical providers 
told him they could not treat his condition at that base and his 
previous base should have submitted a medical package for their 
consideration to ensure they had available facilities to treat 
his condition. He was notified that he would be returned to 
Maxwell AFB on medical hold to correct the issues with his PCS. 
He received a report-not-later-than date (RNLTD) of 
10 February 2012 but was not issued orders until 
9 February 2012; therefore his RNLTD was extended to 
28 February. 

 

When he arrived back at Maxwell AFB, he was informed that he 
would be on medical hold for one duty day but instead, remained 
on medical hold for a month because they did not have an 
available position for him in his Air Force Specialty (AFS). 


During this time there were actual positions in his AFS that 
required a TS clearance across the Air Force but he was not 
cleared for a PCS. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
AF Form 899, Request and Authorization for Permanent Change of 
Station –Military, AF IMT 422, Physical Profile Serial Report, 
and documents pertaining to his PCS. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of E-6, technical sergeant. According to documents 
extracted from the military personnel database (MilPDS), the 
applicant has a projected assignment to Travis AFB California, 
with a report not later than date (RNLTD) of 28 February 2013.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPAPP recommends denial. DPAPP states the applicant moved on 
a permanent change of station to Japan in December 2011 and was 
paid entitlements for the move. Since the applicant did receive 
entitlements for his PCS to Japan, they are unable to remove this 
PCS from the records. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPAPP evaluation is at Exhibit B. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 2 July 2012 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D). To date, this office has not received a response. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 error or injustice. We took 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 and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis 
to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
