Valentine, USMC - Dependents' Travel Entitlement - Denied Boarding Matterof- Compensation File: B-227280 Date: October 14, 1988 DIGEST 1. A Marine Corps Warrant Officer was issued permanent change-of-station orders from Hawaii to Okinawa via two temporary duty stations in the United States. The member's command-sponsored dependents were residing in the Republic of the Philippines on the date his orders were issued, and, after 19 days leave, they accompanied him at his personal expense to the United States. The member is not entitled to reimbursement for the travel of his dependents nor for his leave travel to the Philippines since neither was authorized by the regulations in effect at that time. 2. A Marine Corps Warrant Officer, whose dependents accompanied him at his personal expense to his two temporary duty stations in the United States to attend training courses prior to a second consecutive overseas tour, is not entitled to transportation of the dependents at government expense. The course of instruction at each of the schools was less than 20 weeks duration, and the applicable regulations exclude such entitlement under these circumstances. 3. A Marine Corps Warrant Officer, whose command-sponsored dependents had established a residence in the Philippines prior to receipt of his permanent change-of-station orders, is limited to travel and transportation allowances from this location (Philippines) to the new permanent station (Okinawa) not to exceed the entitlement from the old permanent station (Hawaii) to the new station (Okinawa). Since he was issued a Government Transportation Request in error, he is indebted to the government for the difference between the cost expended for the travel of his dependents, less the estimated cost from Hawaii to Okinawa. 4.
