MATTER   OF:  Lieutenant Commander  George K. Huff,
              USN,  Retired

DIGEST:    1. For purposes of establishing employment
              retention preference (5 U. S. C. 3501(a)(3),
              and 3502). exemption from reduction in
              retired pay under the Dual Compensation
              Act (5 U. S. C. 5532(c)), and full credit for
              years of military service for annual leave
              accrual (5 U. S. C. 6303(a)) as a civilian
              employee of the Federal Government,
              determinations as to whether a service
              member's  disability retirement from a
              uniformed service resulted from injury
              or disease incurred as a direct result
              of armed conflict or caused by an instru-
              mentality of war during a period of war
              can only be made by the uniformed service
              from which he is retired and neither the
              employing agency nor this Office has the
              authority to change that determination.


             2.  Where a retired service member has
                 sought correction of military records
                 under 10 U. S. C. 1552 and the Correction
                 Board has denied the relief sought, such
                 action is final and conclusive on all offi-
                 cers of the United States and not subject
                 to review by the General Accounting
                 Offic e.

   This action is in response to a letter, with enclosures, from
Lieutenant Commander  George K. Huff, USN, Retired, in which he
recuests review of the administrative action taken in his case by the
Naval Weapons Station, Seal Island, California, which resulted in his
military retired pay being reduced, loss of certain leave credits from
his civilian employment and the establishment of an indebtedness to
the United States in the amount of $5, 451. 81 arising out of the overpay-
ment of military retired pay during the period 1967 to 1972.

    The file in the case shows that the member, who was serving on
