C statement that the shipment was made after his orders were issued, not on the date of the receipts, dArdnsuffi- cietily supported toPe ~cDWE E-srong presumption Lhat the shi ment was made about the time of t e recei t dates. This action s in response oa dated arch 2, 1979, from Mr. Irvin Alexander, Jr., a former member of the United States Navy, which constitutes an appeal from a settlement by our Claims Di ision dated March 7, 1977. That settlement denied his claim for reimbursement of the cost of shipping hi-s household goods from Newport, Rhode Island, to Philadelphia, PennsylvanSa, because his goods were shipped prior to issuance of permanent change-of- station orders. Since the receipts for the expenses in- curred in shipping his household goods are dated in Janu- ary 1966, and his orders were issued in October 1966, we also conclude that the shipment was made prior to the orders, and we sustain the disallowance of the claim. On October 5, 1965, Mr. Alexander, at the time a mem- ber of the United States Navy, requested a transfer to a ship homeported in Newport, Rhode Island, or Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for humanitarian reasons. On December 29, 1965, he was assigned to temporary additional duty for instruction for 16 weeks effective January 3, 1966, at Philadelphia from Boston, Massachusetts. By orders dated October 28, 1966, Mr. Alexander was directed to report no later than November 17, 1966, to the Inactive Ship Mainte- nance Facility at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from Newport, /01 pe'& PL P4--1 0 00
