Docket No. 10548-06

RECOMI4ENDATION:

That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that:

a.	On 27 July 2005 the Commander U. S. Naval Station PSC 1006, Box 26, FPO AE 09693-1000 sent a message to NPC requesting the Petitioner’s TAD be extended for an additional period of 385 days. Petitioner was TAD for the period 12 February 2005 through 29 August 2005, 179 days under the original orders. NPC must authorize any TAD in excess of 179 days. On 29 July 2005 NPC approved the request for the period 10 August 2005 through 29 August 2006, the additional 385 days of TAD. FOR DFAS and Agency computing payment for the per diem -it appears that Petitioner has received payment for per diem for the period 12 February 2005 through 31 May 2006. This action validates the payment for the period 10 August 2005 through 31 May 2006 and authorizes payment for the period 1 June 2006 through 29 August 2006.

(NOTE: Petitioner should go to the closest facility which can compute per diem and travel vouchers and ask them to compute monies due for this action, i.e., TAD from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to Jacksonville, FL and a copy of all orders and vouchers pertaining to his TAD. The Agency making the computation for payment will not make the actual payment but will give the completed computations to Petitioner.
Petitioner will then forward the computation of monies due, a copy of this letter and all other vouchers pertaining to the TAD to DFASDE/POCC, 6760 E. Irving Place, Denver, CO 80279-7100 for payment.)

b.	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.
