OP THE UNITEO STATES a WAS HI NGTO N,. .C. 20549 FILE: B-221201 DATE: July 10, 1986 MATTER OF: Chief Warrant Officer James W. Gilliam II, USA DIGEST: A military member's waiver of his entitle- ment to transportation allowances incident to his attendance at a training course is ineffective where the travel was directed by the service and not permissive. While the Joint Travel Regulations make provi- sion for elimination of or reduction in per diem under certain conditions, no pro- vision is made for waiving the transpor- tation allowances in such a case. The member was directed to travel on temporary duty and he is entitled to be reimbursed for his airfare to attend the training. The question presented in this case is whether a waiver of travel entitlements executed by an Army member prior to performing temporary duty is to be given effect.1/ As will be explained below, the waiver is ineffective in this case. Background Chief Warrant Officer James W. Gilliam II, a physician assistant assigned to duty at Fort Clayton, Panama, was issued temporary duty travel orders on October 3, 1984, authorizing him to travel from Fort Clayton to the West Indies and return to attend a conference relating to his duties as a physician assistant. Prior to issuance of his travel orders, Mr. Gilliam executed a waiver of all entitle- ment to Government-paid travel to and from the conference. His travel orders did provide for him to receive per diem and authorized $450 for the conference registration fees. 1/ This decision is issued in response to a request from Major Leonard L. Greisz, Finance and Accounting Officer, Headquarters, 193d Infantry Brigade (Panama). The Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee has assigned it control number 85-36.
