Brennan DIGEST: After completing temporary duty in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Friday afternoon the claimant started his return trip to Wright- Patterson Air Force Base on Saturday. He arrived in Hong Kong at 1:35 p.m. on that day and remained there until 1 p.m. on Monday. He completed travel to Ohio on Tuesday and reported for duty on Wednesday.

He de- parted Saturday morning, September 12, 1981, for return to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
