4.  Paragraph U5375-A, JFTR, provides that temporary storage isn't authorized 
in conjunction with an intra-city of move of HHG and the member is liable for 
.  all costs of temporary storage when HHG are placed in storage under PCS orders 
and aren't transported under those orders.  The applicant's HHG were picked up 
for temporary storage and shipment under retirement orders with a home of 
selection (HOS) authorized.  Paragraph U5356-C, JFTR, provides that a member 
who is entitled to HHG transportation with a HOS authorized is also entitled 
to nontemporary storage (NTS) of such goods.  The entitlement begins on the 
date orders are issued and terminates 1 year from the date of termination of 
active duty. 

5.  Review of DD Form 1797, Personal Property Counseling Checklist, shows 
there is no indication the applicant was advised of his entitlement to place 
for later shipment or delivery to any location within the 
,  For this reason we believe he suffered an injustice. 

6. If the Board agrees, recommend the records be changed to state the house- 
hold goods that were placed in temporary storage under Government Bill of 
Lading VP-717547 dated 22 May 1995 were converted to nontemporary storage. 
Delivery out, within prescribed weight allowance, is authorized in accordance 
with paragraph U5365, JFTR. 

7.  My point of contact is Mr. Alfred P. August.  If there are any questions 
regarding this matter, he may be reached at DSN 954-4227.
