Roberts, USNR A Navy member was ordered to transfer from a vessel, whose home port was Mayport, to the Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Florida. Transportation of dependents was not author- ized and Government quarters were not pro- vided at the new duty station. Both Mayport and the Naval Air Station are located within the corporate limits of Jacksonville, and under agency regulations where the transfer is between stations within the same city, no change of permanent station occurs. In the absence of a change of permanent station, regulations prohibit payment of a disloca- tion allowance, either on a with-dependent or without-dependent theory, even though the dependents were required to vacate Govern- ment quarters. This decision concerns whether Captain Tim H. Roberts, USNR, is entitled to a dislocation allowance as a result of his transfer from a ship home ported in Jacksonville, Florida, to a shore station located in Jacksonville.j/ We conclude that the allowance may not be paid. Background By orders issued in January 1983, Captain Roberts was transferred from his duty station on the USS Yosem- ite to the Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Florida, effective in July 1983. Until the transfer his depend- ents occupied Government quarters at the Naval Station, Mayport, Florida, the home port of the Yosemite. Al- though Captain Roberts preferred to commute between Mayport and his new duty station, he relocated his fam- ily to-Orange Park, Florida, because upon his transfer, his dependents were required to vacate the Government quarters in Mayport. 1/ The matter was forwarded by the Navy Accounting and Finance Center and was approved by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee, which assigned it Control No. 84-11.
