Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of enclosure (2), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action.

Docket No: 10384-02

RECOMMENDATION:

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

a.	A request for authority to pay per diem for the period of TEMDUINST at Ft. Sam Houston, Ft. Sam Houston, TX was requested under the provisions of JFTR Volume 1, and SECNAV approved the request prior to the Petitioner reporting to Ft. Sam Houston, TX. BuPers orders were modified prior to reporting to AHS Ft. S Houston, Fort Sam Houston TX to authorize per diem for period of TEMDUINST at Ft. Sam Houston, TX. Petitioner was TDY for the period 2 August 1997 through 10 October 1997. Lodging facilities were available; however, government dining facilities were not available and Petitioner will be paid per diem for the period of TEMDUINST at Ft. Sam Houston, TX.

(NOTE: Petitioner should go to the closest facility which can compute travel vouchers and ask them to compute monies due for this action. If available, Petitioner will present to the Agency computing the money due a copy of all previous vouchers pertaining to the permanent change of station (PCS) and TEMDUINST, a copy of the orders directing the PCS and TEMDUINST and a copy of this action. The agency making the computation will not make the actual payment. Petitioner will then forward the computation of monies due, a copy of this letter and all other vouchers and orders pertaining to the PCS and TEMDUJNST to DFAS-DE/POCC, 6760 E. Irvington Place, Denver, CO 80279-7100.)

b.	That a copy of this Report of Proceedings be filed in Petitioner’s naval record.

4. Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(c)) it is certified that quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above entitled matter.
