b.	Petitioner signed a statement agreeing to pay any costs of shipment of the HHG if orders were canceled. (NOTE: Petitioner will submit her Personally Procured Move reimbursement claim package to include a copy of this letter, copies of weight tickets, copy of itemized bill of lading from the moving company, copy of final discharge orders and a completed DD Form 1351-2.  The entire package should be mailed to Business Support Department, HHG Audit Team Code 302, FISC, Norfolk, VA 23511-3392.)

c.	A copy of this Report of Proceedings will be filed in Petitioner’s naval record.

4. It is certified that quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above entitled matter.
