C. 2054e FILE: B-212239 DATE: November 29, 1983 MATTER OF: Electronics Technician Second Class Michael S. Beam, USNR DIGEST: A naval reservist sustained an injury outside the Reserve Center building following dismissal from an inactive- duty training drill. He is not eligible to receive benefits (medical care, pay and allowances, etc.) under 10 U.S.C. S 6148 and 37 U.S.C. § 201(i) (1976) since under those statutes the injury must have been incurred while the member was employed in inactive-duty training which extends only from the time the reservist is first mustered in until dismissal from that day's activities. The question in this case is whether Electronics Technician Second Class Michael S. Beam, USNR-R, is entitled to the benefits of 10 U.S.C. § 6148 and 37 U.S.C. 5 204(i) (1976), including pay and allowances during the period of recovery under the circumstances in which he was injured while leaving an inactive-duty training drill.) We find that he is not entitled to those benefits because his injury occurred after the completion of the drill and after his release from duty.
