      We refer to your lettor of Janunr; 18, 1973, Goral: Ut1/0005F, by
which you requost our dncioion whether H. Joseph Hitola III, an
eraployce of the flational Security Agetncy, nay have part of hs absence
from duty from June 24 to August 4, 1972, while ho was attending ROTC
advanced camp, charged to annual leave rather than leave without pay.

     You say that fir. litola was not allowed the annual leave available
to him during the period hie was participating in 1OTC advanced camp in
viet of the decision 4.n 35 Comp. Gon. 531 (1956). You now request our
advice as to whether that deciton under which ROTC cadots are denied
entitlement to annual loave Wth pay frnm civilian posittonn hilo
participating in swuaer cowsp lo still controllins ternce the Dual Com-
pencation Act in force at the time that decision uai rendered and which
was cited therein as the controlling pro%ieton   of law has been ctpcrseded
by thli Dual Compensation Act of )04, now 5 U4.C. 5533. MA you iudicrts
curront ctatutory provicton do nor. 1 it the componsation which may hu
received by an individual holding illitary and civilian off! c a concu-
rantly except with reepect to retired   ilitary orficnrs as provided in
5 U.S.C. 5532. Thin is so becaune the dual compcnnation provicion  of
S U.S.C. 5533 not; appliec only to the holdin3 of two civilian positions
undor te definttion of )osition as contened ir. 5 U.S.C. 531(2).

     hlowvor, it Aan Ield in 46 Comp. GCn. 400 (1966) that the enactment
of the D;ual Co:apenaottion Act of 1964 did not chnnno the longstanding
rule that active ailitary oervice is incompatible With concurritnt Federal
civilian service. S oe also 49 Conp. Gen. 444 (1970). On th other hand
RUC field training under 10 U.S.C. 2109, ,hich is here Involved, in rnot
considered active duty in the armed forces. 43 Comp. Gen, 103, 111 (IS65)
See also AUllfsrjo  v. j ntjL., 2, 1'. 2d 1324 (Cir. 1.71) in which
the Court of Appeals held ttat ROTC field training I  anot active rtlitary
oorvice.
     Since field training, performed by RYC cadots is not active military
nervice  1ach duty io not ubject to the ineomptfW.lf1ty .lt: au pre.ortly
