DIGEST:

               DATE:  June 6, 1979
Lieutenant Colonel James Z. Metalios USA,
Retired


1.  Army member who was transferred from
    Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, to Fort Dix, New
    Jersey, under permanent change-of-
    station order8 for purposes of retire-
    ment separation processing, and who then
    traveled on to his home of selection for
    retirement in Athens, Greece, is entitled

    member's tranfer is retirement processing

    permanent home at or near the last duty
    station, since a member is not entitled to

    where they do not intend to establish a
    permanent home.


3.  Army member who traveled from his perma-
    nent duty station at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia,
    to Fort Dix, New Jersey for purposes of
    separation processing and thence to his
    home of selection on retirement at Athens,
    Greece, is not entitled to allowances for
    his dependents' travel from Dhahran to
    Fort Dix or from Fort Dix to Athens, since
