MATTER OF: Captain John B. Turpit, USMCR, Retired


DIGEST:   1. Reserve officer who is placed on
              temporary disability retired list
              with entitlement to retired.. pay
              after serving over 5 years of con-
              tinuous active duty is not entitled
              to readjustment pay. Readjustment
              pay does not accrue to a Reserve
              officer who serves over 5 years of
              continuous active duty if upon
              release from active duty the member
              is immediately eligible for retired
              pay based entirely on his military
              service which includes retired pay
              for a member on the temporary dis-
              ability retired list.

          2. During the time a Reserve officer is
              on the temporary disability retired
              list, he is not in an active duty
              status. Therefore, when the member
              is declared fit for duty and is
              removed from the retired list, he
              must begin a new period of 5 contin-
              uous years of active duty to qualify
              for readjustment pay.

      The Disbursing Officer, United States Marine Corps
 Finance Center, Kansas City, Missouri, requests an ad-
 vance decision whether Captain John B. Turpit, Marine
 Corps Reserve, Retired, is entitled to readjustment
 pay. Since Captain Turpit received disability retired
 pay based on and immediately following his period of
 active duty for which he would have qualified for
 readjustment pay, he is statutorily precluded from
 receiving readjustment- pay.

      The case was originally forwarded to us in January
 1982 by the Department of Defense Military Pay and
