C. 20548 DATE: May 8, 1981 MATTER OF: Sergeant John R. Jacobs, USAF Air Force member on change of station from Yokota Air Base, Japan, to RAF Upper Heyford, England, who was authorized to travel via his home of record in Redondo Beach, California, flew from Los Angeles to London aboard a commercial carrier, although his travel orders directed him to use mili- tary air transportation between McGuire AFB, New Jersey, and RAF Mildenhall, England. Member is entitled to a mile- age allowance for the distance between Redondo Beach, California, and McGuire AFB, since the leg of travel between his home of record and his normal port of embarkation, rather than the leg of travel between his home of record and his actual port of embarkation, is transoceanic travel for which reimburse- ment is prohibited by JTR, M4159-4a.

The request was assigned Control No. 80-27 and forwarded to us by the Per Diem, Travel and Transporta- tion Allowance Committee. In the circumstances of this case we find that the transoceanic travel is the leg of travel between the normal, rather than the actual, ports of embarkation and debarkation. Permanent change-of-station orders authorized Sergeant John R. Jacobs, USAF, to travel from his old duty station, Yokota Air Base, Japan, to his new duty station, RAF Upper Heyford, England, via his leave point, Redondo Beach, California, which was also his home of record. The orders directed Sergeant Jacobs to report to his new duty DIGEST: %' wtst I
