handle is hein.gao/gaobadidd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: /3%.U _R THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECSION .(jOF THE UNITED BTATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 UNITF9 FILE: B-195791 DATE: March 31, 1980 MATTER OF: Midshipman Peter Salerno, SROTC, and Midshipman Murray A. Hess, SROTC DIGEST: /-enior Reserve Officers' Training \Corps (SROTC) members appointed under 10 U.S.C. 2104 (1976) incurred / ri /f;/;4V 3re expenses for lodging and mealswhen they were required, through no fault of their own, to delay en route to and from field training or practice cruises at locations where no Govern- ment berthing or messing facilities were available. SROTC members appointed under 10 U.S.C. 2104 may not be paid per diem but are en- titled to subsistence at Govern- ment expense. Because the SROTC members were traveling under proper orders and due to a delay en route were required to secure commercial lodging and meals (the arrangements for which were made by U.S. Naval Attaches), reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses is authorized. The issue presented in this case is whether the Joint Travel Regulations, Volume 1, may be amended to authorize reimbursement to members of the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (SROTC) appointed under 10 U.S.C. 2104 for expenses incurred for meals and lodging when they are required through no fault of their own to delay en route to and from field training and cruises at locations where no Government berthing or messing facilities are avail- able. Although no authority exists for payment of per diem to such members,. they may be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses as an administrative expense. The issue arises upon a Lequest from the Assistant ? Secretary of the Army (Manpower ano Reserve Affairs). As examples, the claims of two SROTC midshipmen, Peter Salerno and Murray A. Hess are presented. ~\GlP1
