RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01879 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ 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. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered this application in Executive Session on 10 January 2013, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Panel Chair Member Member The following documentary evidence was considered in AFBCMR Docket number BC-2012-01879: Exhibit A.
