FILE:   B-200285/B-200857


  MATTER OF:    Staff Sergeant William H. Fedderman, USMC,
                and Ensign Rita V. Espiritu, USNR

  DIGEST:   1. A member of the uniformed service is
                detached from his permanent duty station
                upon being assigned to temporary duty and
                the new permanent duty station is not
                designated until the end of temporary
                duty assignment. Member may be author-
                ized travel at Government expense from
                the temporary duty station to the old
                duty station for the purpose of arranging
                for relocation of dependents and personal
                effects resulting from the permanent
                change of station and then travel to the
                new permanent duty station. The date of
                the detachment from the old permanent
                duty station does not affect this
                entitlement.

            2. A member of the uniformed services may be
                paid for travel from his temporary duty
                station to his old permanent duty station
                when permanent change of station follows
                a period of duty at a temporary duty sta-
                tion, but such payments may be made only
                if the Joint Travel Regulations are
                amended to authorize travel in such cir-
                cumstances and only if authorization of
                return to old permanent station is based
                on the need to arrange transportation of
                dependents, household or personal effects
                or a privately owned conveyance and may
                not be authorized for purely personal
                reasons such as a visit or vacation.

     These cases involve a military member's entitlement
to permanent change of station allowancesJunder paragraph
M4156, Case 3, Volume 1, Joint Travel Regulations (1 JTR).
The question is whether travel may be allowed to the old
duty station from a temporary duty location where the mem-

may be authorized travel allowances prescribed in M4156,
Case 3, 1 JTR, in such circumstances if return to the
