THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON. 0. C. 20548



      DATE:  March 18, 1981


Colonel James Roche, USAF


DIGEST:   Air Force colonel is not entitled to reim-
          bursement for the travel of his dependent
          daughter from her college in New York to
          his new duty station in West Germany during
          her semester break since the daughter did
          not travel to Germany with the intention of
          establishing a permanent residence there but
          only for a brief visit.                     4)

     This action is in response to a letter from the
Accounting and Finance Officer, Headquarters 435th jV
Tactical Airlift Wing (MAC), forwarded by Headquarte s
United States Air Force, requesting an advance decision
as to whether Colonel James Roche, USAF, is entitled to
reimbursement for travel of h-s dependent daughterjfrom
her college in New Rochelle, New York, to Rhein-Main
Air Base, Germany, in December 1978. The request was
assigned Control No. 80-21 and forwarded to this Office
by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance
Committee. We find that Colonel Roche is not entitled
to reimbursement under the given circumstances.

     Colonel Roche was reassigned on a permanent change
of station from McGuire Air Force Ease, New Jersey, to
serve an accompanied tour of duty at Rhein-Main Air Base,
West Germany, but concurrent travel was not authorized
for his wife and six dependent children at that time.
Colonel Roche completed his travel to Rhein-Main on
April 23, 1978, but he elected and was authorized to
have his dependents travel at a later date. In July
1978 an order authorizina the travel of his wife and
five of their children to his new permanent duty station
in September 1978 was issued. A separate dependent
travel order, authorizing travel for Colonel Roche's
sixth child from his old duty station to his new duty
station in December 1978, was also issued in July. In
September 1978 Mrs. Roche and five children left the
old station to join Colonel Roche in Germany. The sixth
child departed from the old station to attend college in
New York at approximately the same time.
