                            THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
    DECISION      .         OF  THE   UNITED STATES
                            WASHINGTON, D. C. 20548



    FILE: B-194251               DATE: April 23, 1979

    MATTER  OF: Mrs. M. Virginia Conklin


    DIGEST:A retired civilian employee of the Air Force
           claimw retroactive temporary promotion and
     ,L    accompanying backpayJunder Turner-Caldwell,
           56 Comp. Gen. 427 (1977), incident to details
           to higher grade military positions. There is
           no entitlement to backpay as the employee
           could not have been temporarily promoted into
           the military position. The Turner-Caldwell
           remedy is only available where the employee
           was able to satisfy requirements for a retro-
           active temporary promotion.

      This action concerns an appeal by Mrs. M. Virginia
  Conklin, a retired civilian employee of the Department
  of the Air Force, of the action of our Claims Division on
  September 13, 1978, which disallowed her claim for retro-
  active promotion and backpay incident to details to higher
  grade positions.

      During the period in question Mrs. Conklin was employed
  in the Housing Referral Office at George Air Force Base,
  California, as a clerk stenographer GS-4. Mrs. Conklin
  states that during the period from September 2, 1971, to
  February 2, 1972, she was detailed to the position of
  NCOIC (Non Commissioned Officer in Charge) in the Housing
  -Referral Office and that for the periods February 2, to
  March 3, 1972, and July 1 to July 23, 1972, she was
  detailed to the position of Housing Referral Officer.

      The record supports her contention that, at least
 for most of the period she claims backpay, she was either
 detailed  to or performing the functions of the NCOIC or
 Housing Referral Officer while in grade GS-4. However,
 during  those periods both the NCOIC and Housing Referral
 Officer positions were allocated, graded and assigned as
 military positions only.  While Mrs. Conklin recognizes
 that  fact, she has claimed a retroactive promotion and
* accompanying backpay on the basis of an evaluation of
  the equivalent civilian grade of the positions, GS-8
  and GS-9, for the military positions NCOIC (senior master
