                          THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
  OUCISION                OF THE UNITED        STATES
                        WASHINGTON, 0.C. 20548




  FILE:   B-219060              DATE: February 19, 1986

  MATTER OF:     Richard M. Baske


  DIGEST:

        Former member of the United States Marine
        Corps was discharged from the service in
        1972 with a bad conduct discharge which
        was later found to have been invalid. A
        valid discharge was executed in 1984. The
        former member claims backpay from the date
        of the invalid discharge to the date of
        the validly issued discharge. Although he
        might have been entitled to backpay from
        the date of the invalid discharge in 1972
        to the date of the expiration of his
        enlistment in 1976, any claim he had
        accrued in 1976. Since the claim was not
        presented to this Office until 1985, it is
        barred by the statute of limitations set
        out in 31 U.S.C. S 3702(b)(1), which
        requires that the Comptroller General
        receive a claim within 6 years after it
        accrues.

     This action is in response to a request for an advance
decision from the United States Marine Corps regarding the
claim of former Marine Private Richard M. Baske for back-
pay.-1/ Mr. Baske's claim may not be allowed since it is
barred by the provisions of 31 U.S.C. S 3702(b).

     Richard M. Baske enlisted in the Marine Corps on
September 8, 1971, for 4 years. On December 5, 1971, he was
convicted by a Special Court-Martial for absence without
leave from his unit during the period from September 18 to
November 2, 1972. He was sentenced to confinement at hard
labor for 2 months, forfeiture of pay for 2 months and a

    Chetkovich, United States Marine Corps, Disbursing

    Center, Kansas City, Missouri, and was assigned Depart-
    ment of Defense Military Pay and Allowance Committee
    Control Number DO-MC-1453.
