DECISION


FILE:


B-186128


MATTER OF:


DATE:


JUL 9  1976


Lieutenant Commander
SC, USN


DIGEST:


1, The per diem entitlement of a service
    member who made stopover at the port
    of debarkation in the United States
    incident to a-change of' permanent sta-
    tion from Rota, Spain, to Washington,
    D.C., is to be determined on the basis
    of whether the member acted in a rea-
    sonable manner. Where the member, due
    to lateness of hour, unavailability of
    continuation airplane flights until
    the following day and impracticality
    of travel by private vehicle, decided
    to delay his onward travel until the
    next day, such action meets the test
    of reasonableness.


            2. Per diem may be authorized for the day
                of debarkation when no further travel
                is performed, but commercial transporta-
                tion would have been available for the
                member to continue travel from his port
                of debarkation to his next permanent
                station only if the member's delay or
                stopover meets the test of reasonableness.
            3. A member is not entitled to per diem for
                the day of debarkation when the port of
                debarkation is the permanent duty
                station and the member takes leave away
                from or at the port of debarkation.

     This action is in response to a letter dated December 30, 1975,
with enclosures, from Chief Warrant Officer G. F. Welch, SC, USN,
Disbursing Officer, Navy Regional Finance Center, Washington, D.C.,
requesting an advance decision as to the propriety of making payment
to Lieutenant Commander                , SC, USN,           , for
