RECOMMENDATION 

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

Petitioner’s modification (2) to BUPERS Order 0538 dated 22 May 2018 is modified to include the following paragraph “E. 

Reimbursement When a TMC Is Available but Not Used. When a TMC is available but not used by a traveler, reimbursement for transportation costs is limited to the amount that the Government would have paid if the arrangements had been made directly through a TMC.”

Settlement of claim is chargeable to the line of accounting on the Petitioner’s BUPERS order 
number 0538. 

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