DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 Docket No: 3112-21 Dear : This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Section 1552 of Title 10, United States Code. After careful and conscientious consideration of relevant portions of your naval record and your application, the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) found the evidence submitted insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. Consequently, your application has been denied. A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 24 August 2021. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request. Your allegations of error and injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of your application, together with all material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions of your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinion contained in Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command letter 5420 Ser SUP 04/006 of 26 July 2021 and your response to the opinion. In accordance with The Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), service member can move his or her HHG in as many lots as desired from one or more locations. However, the Government’s obligation, and maximum payment, is what the cost would be to transport the Service member’s maximum weight allowance between authorized locations in one lot at the Government’s “Best Value” cost. Furthermore, a Service member must repay the Service for the cost of transporting his or her HHG in excess of the specified weight allowance, unless there is specific authorization for an increased weight allowance, limited to 18,000 pounds. Permanent change of station (PCS) and non-temporary storage (NTS) weight allowances in the grade of O-6 with dependents is 18,000 lbs. On 12 May 2020, you were issued official change duty orders (BUPERS order: 1330) while stationed in with an effective date of departure of July 2020. Your ultimate activity was for duty with an effective date of arrival of August 2020. On 12 May 2020, Bill of Lading was issued. The transportation company tendered to was with a pickup location from to delivery location of with a NET of 24,740 lbs. On 16 July 2020, transportation service provider (TSP) picked up your household goods (HHG) for transportation. On 30 July 2020, a Statement Of Accessorial Service Performed (Storage-In-Transit Delivery And Reweigh) was issued signed by carrier’s representative; however, you refused to sign. On 30 July 2020, a Certified Automated Truck Scale weight certificate was issued at Travel Center, with a gross weight of 63,600 lbs. On 31 July 2020, a Certified Automated Truck Scale weight certificate was issued at Pilot Travel Center, with a gross weight of 38,860 lbs. On 3 August 2020, TSP delivered your HHG. On 22 April 2021, you were notified by NAVSUP Logistics Center that your 2020 move from to exceeded your authorized weight allowance of 18,000 lbs. authorized by Paragraph 051306 A of the Joint Travel Regulations. You exceeded your entitlement by 4,067 lbs. resulting in an excess cost of $5,901.60. You requested the remission of $5,901.60 in debt stemming from PCS HHG move executed in July 2020; the Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions. However, the Board concluded that your July 2020 HHG move is comparable in weight to your previous two moves, each of which were significantly over the maximum allowed weight. Therefore, although the TSP did not conduct a reweigh as you requested, the Board concluded the inventory sheets and weight tickets substantiate the weight billed to the government. Finally, you may complete a DD Form 2789, Remission of Indebtedness Application, and submit it to the Chief of Naval Personnel (N130C), if this debt creates a financial hardship for you. You may email your request to NXAG_N130C@navy.mil. In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new matters, which will require you to complete and submit a new DD Form 149. New matters are those not previously presented to or considered by the Board. In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a presumption of regularity attaches to all official records. Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice. Sincerely, 10/04/2021 Deputy Director
