MATTER OF:


DIGEST: 1.

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



      DATE:   November 15, 1982


  Captain William D. Vickers, USMC,
  Retired

A service member was transferred
from overseas to a station in the
United States for the sole pur-
pose of retirement processing.
Such a transfer is considered to
be a transfer to a temporary duty
location. Retirement processing
was delayed 4 months and ser-
vice's retirement manual calls
for additional service if the
member is not retired in
30 days. Since the delay in this
case wls to resolve the member's
physical fitness for retirement,
and no other duty was contem-
plated, the delay did not change
the nature of his assignment from
temporary to permanent.


           2. A service member was transferred
               from overseas to a temporary
               assignment for retirement pro-
               cessing at Albany, Georgia, which
               was also his home of selection.
               He owned a residence there prior
               to the transfer and lived there
               for part of the time while await-
               ing retirement and commuted from
               his home to his duty station. In
               these circumstances he was not
               entitled to per diem after his
               arrival at Albany since that was
               his permanent residence.

     This action is in response to a request for
decision from the Disbursing Officer, Marine Corps
Logistics Base, Albany, Georgia, concerning the
entitlement of Captain William D. Vickers, USMC, to
receive per diem while he was assigned to the Albany
Logistics Base for retirement processing. This
matter has been assigned Control No. 82-5 by the Per
Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee.
