MATTER OF:


DIGEST:


S. Sgt.


A member of the Armed Forces who, on
permanent change of station to an
overseas location on a with dependents
tour' but concurrent travel of depend-
ents is not authorized and who brings
his dependent to his overseas station
shortly after his arrival, is not
entitled to reimbursement for such
travel since in accordance with
1 JTR M7000-16 member did not have
sufficient service time remaining in
his enlistment to permit command
sponsorship of dependent. The fact
that member subsequently extended his
term of service does not qualify mem-
ber to transportation of dependent at
Government expense since Rule 6 of
Table 4-1, All 601-280 requires that
the action approving command sponsor-
ship must be taken prior to travel of
dependent.


     This action is in response to a letter dated March 8, 1976,
from Staff Sergeant               , SA,            , requesting
reconsideration of our Transportation and Claims Division (now
Claims Division) settlement of March 2, 1976* which disallowed his
claim for reimbursement for transportation of his dependent wife
from the United States to Germany in December 1973 incident to an
ordered overseas permanent change of duty assignment.

     The record shows that by Special Orders Number 331, dated
November 27, 1973, issued by Headquarters U.S. Army Personnel
Center, Fort Dix, New Jersey, the member was directed to proceed
on permanent change of station to the VII Corps (W24AIAB), APO
New York 09061, with a port call date of December 18, 1973, and
an overseas unit of assignment reporting date of December 20,
1973. Special instructions contained in the orders stated
