The former member may not be paid for the additional 25 days' leave because 37 U.S.C.

S 501(f) (1982 & Supp. III 1985). For the reasons explained below, we sustain our Claims Group's settlement. BACKGROUND Ms. Holloway began active service with the Navy in 1978. In September 1982, while remaining on active duty, she sold back 30 days of unused accrued leave and received a lump- sum payment from the Navy. In December 1982, Ms. Holloway was transferred to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where, she alleges, she was denied opportunities to use much of the additional leave she was accruing. On December 31, 1984, Ms. Holloway was discharged from the Navy. At the time, she had 55 days of unused accrued leave to her credit. The Navy paid Ms. Holloway for 30 days' accrued leave, explaining that this payment, combined with the Navy's earlier payment for 30 days' leave, exhausted her entitlement to be paid for no more than 60 days of accrued leave during her military career. Our Claims Group con- curred with the Navy's determination, denying Ms. Holloway 0Olicoz)
