FILE:   B-207624     DATE: October 19, 1982


MATTER OF: Sergeant First Class Lloyd P. Powell, USA


Under permanent change-of-station orders, an Army
sergeant traveled from Germany to Fort Wainwright,
Alaska, which was designated in the orders as his
new permanent duty station. In fact, his assign-
ment to Fort Wainwright was merely for the purpose
of undergoing processing at the personnel center
there and diversion to another Alaskan post for
permanent duty. During the personnel processing
Fort Richardson, Alaska, was designated as his new
permanent duty station. He claims temporary lodg-
ing allowances for the 2-day period he resided in
temporary quarters at Fort Wainwright. He is not
entitled to temporary lodging allowances since that
allowance is a permanent station allowance and Fort
Wainwright was actually not his permanent duty sta-
tion. However, he is entitled to per diem allowances
for the 2-day period since he was in a travel status
en route to his genuine permanent duty station at
Fort Richardson.


     This action is in response to a request submitted by
Major R. F. Hawley, Finance and Accounting Officer, Fort Richard-
son, Alaska, for an advance decision concerning the entitlement
of Sergeant First Class Lloyd P. Powell to temporary lodging
allowances for a 2-day stay at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, to under-
go personnel processing while en route to Fort Richardson, Alaska,
on a permanent change-of-station assignment. The request was
assigned control number 82-13 by the Department of Defense Per
Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee.

     As explained below, we find that Sergeant Powell is not
entitled to temporary lodging allowances, but he is entitled to
per diem allowances for the time he was delayed at Fort Wainwright
for personnel processing.

     Sergeant Powell received permanent change-of-station orders
dated July 7, 1981, for reassignment from Germany to Alaska on
an accompanied tour of duty to commence in October 1981. The
orders designated Fort Wainwright, Alaska, as his new permanent
duty station. When he arrived at Fort Wainwright on October 25,
he secured off-post temporary lodgings for himself and his family.
