MATTER OF:


Master Sergeant
'USAF, Retired


            EC G1977
DATE:


OIGEST:


1. An Air Force member received travel
   allowances for his dependents' travel to
   Waterford. New York, which he certi-
   fied as his home of selection incident
   to his retirement. Subsequently, he
   traveled to Isfahan. Iran, for which he
   claims travel allowances as travel to
   his home of selection. Since Isfahan
   appears to be his actual home of
   selection he is entitled to mileage
   allowance to the appropriate United States
   port of embarkation, not to exceed the
   mileage he actually traveled, less the
   amount he received for his dependents'
   travel to Waterford. However, he is not
   entitled to reimbursement for air fare to
   Iran because such travel was not arranged
   by a transportation officer; it was on a
   -foreign carrier; and it appears that it was
   not at his personal expense.


              2. Entitlement to travel expenses to a home of
                 selection upon retirement is a right which
                 accrues to the member only, and no right
                 accrues separately for his dependents'
                 travel to a separate home of selection.


   This action is in res nee to correspondence from Master
Sergeant                      USAF, Retired, .
wherein he appeals our Claims Division settlement dated April 16,
1976. which disallowed his claim for reimbursement for travel to
his home of selection (Isfahan, Iran), incident to his retirement
from the United States Air Force on November 1, 1974.

    The record shows that by order dated September 12, 1974, the
member was retired from active duty in the Air Force effective
November 1. 1974, at Homestead Air Force Base, Florida, his last
permanent duty station,
