Ladd Fil: B-245112, B-245112,2 Date: MIarch 30, 1992 DIGESTS 1. A service member who objects to the storing of his household goods in a DOD-approved warehouse at destination until his quarters are ready for occupancy, knowing that they are stored on the vans that transported them, is liable for any additional costs incurred by the government due to the detention of the carrier's vans. The Joint Foderal Travel Regulations provide that the member must bear the cost of transportation in excess of the lowest overall cost to the government without special services, and members certify that they will pay for such additional services, like van detention, when they apply for moving entitlements. 2. A service member's debt for additional services provided to him in a permanent change of station move is not an erroneous payment that may be considered under the waiver statute (10 U.S.C. § 2774). DECISION Colonel Steven K. Ladd, United States Air Force, requests review of our Claims Group's settlement affirming the Air Force's finding that he is liable for the excess cost of storing his household goods, incurred in a permanent change of station move in 1989. Colonel Ladd also requests waiver of this indebtedness. We affirm the decision of the Claims Group, and we deny Colonel Ladd's request for waiver. Colonel Ladd was reassigned from Ramstein Air Base in Germany to RAF Bentwaters in the United Kingdom, effective on or before June 30, 1989, and he applied for a door-to- door move of his household goods. He states that he did not request a delivery date in the United Kingdom because his new quarters were being renovated and the occupancy date was uncertain; Colonel Ladd expected that his property would remain in storage in Germany. Nevertheless, on July 12, 1989, Colonel Ladd's household goods arrived at RAF Bentwaters. Instead of being placed in an approved warehouse for temporary storage in transit (SIT), the goods remained stored until December 21, 1989, on the two vans
