    FILE: B-210197                DATE: June 6, 198?

    MATTER OF: Sergeant Timothy T. Miller, USAF


    DIGEST:
    1. An Air Force enlisted member on perma-
         nent duty in Germany, whose travel
         orders direct travel by Government air,
         but who by amendment to those orders is
         authorized to take leave in the United
         States following his temporary duty
         assignment there, is responsible for the
         commercial transportation costs incurred
         in getting from his temporary duty sta-
         tion to his leave address and to the Air
         Force base from which he departs by Gov-
         ernment aircraft to return to Germany.

     2. An Air Force enlisted member's temporary
         duty travel orders directed travel by
         Government air and referred to a dedi-
         cated airlift which would be available
         for his use in returning directly to his
         permanent duty station. Since the orders
         did not clearly state that the dedicated
         airlift was the only flight for him to
         use, he need not reimburse the Government
         for the cost of his travel for a portion
         of the trip for which he used a different
         Government flight to return to his perma-
         nent duty station.

     This decision responds to a request from the Chief of
Accounting and Finance, Headquarters 36th Tactical Fighter
Wing (USAFE), Departinent of the Air Force, for an advance
decision concerning whether Sergeant Timothy T.
Miller, USAF, is entitled to transportation at Government
expense for travel performed returning to Bitburg Air Base,
Germany, from temporary duty at Nellis Air Force Base,
Nevada. The request was assigned control number 82-27 and
forwarded to us by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation
Allowance Committee.

     At issue is whether the statement on Sergeant Miller's
travel order that Govt. air directed for travel. Dedicated
