C, 19770 DATE: Doecember 29a i977 OF; Department of Defense Per Dies, Trsvel and Transportation Allowance Commi.LCe Control Na. 77-19 Where a member is asaigned to temporary duty and the temporary duty station becomes his permanent duty station, or whe*:a a mem- ber is assigned to a vessel and while the vessel i deployed from the home port the home port of the vessel is changed, the member's round-trip travel to the old perma- nent station or old home port should be con- sidered travel incident to the permanent change of Rtation.
