DATE:     JuN  4  1975


MATTER


DIGEST:


OF:  Department of Defense Military Pay and
     Allowance Committee Action No. 506 -
     Variable Reenlistment Bonus
 Service member who reenlisted or extended his
 then current enlistment before June 1, 1974,
 thereby qualifying for a variable reenlistment
 bonus (VRB) under 37 U.S.C. 308(g) (1970), is
 not entitled to receive payment for an addi-
 tional VRB when he subsequently extends or fur-
 ther extends that reenlistment on or after
 June 1, 1974, since Public Law 93-277, 88 Stat.
 119, repealed the VRB provisions effective that
 date and since the service member had not actu-
 ally extended or further extended that enlist-
 ment before the law was repealed, he acquired
 no vested right to payment of an additional VRB
 thereafter.


     This action is in response to a letter dated June 25, 1974, from
the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) requesting an
advance decision on certain questions relating to payments of a vari-
able reenlistment bonus (VRB) under the provisions of 37 U.S.C. 308(g)
(which was repealed by Public Law 93-277) upon subsequent extensions
of enlistments after June 1, 1974, in the circumstances discussed in
Department of Defense Military Pay and Allowance Committee Action
No. 506, enclosed with the request.

     The questions are:

     1.  Is a member, serving under a two year extension
     of enlistment for which a variable reenlistment
     bonus.(VrPB) was paid, entitled to an additional VRB
     for a second or subsequent extension of that enlist-
     ment executed on or after 1 June 1974?

     2.  Is a member, otherwise qualified for a VRB, who
     is serving under a 21 month extension of enlistment
     on 31 Iay 1974, entitled to a VRB if after that date,
     he again executes an agreement to extend his enlist-
     ment for at least a 3 month period?
