SUBJECT:  Application for Correction of Military Record- 

This responds to a request for a BCMR advisory on 

who is requesting his 

records be changed to show he was due reimbursement for his overseas housing allowance 
(OHA) under a different, higher, OHA rate ceiling than the one he was under while assigned to 

s assigned to Osan AB during a time when 
rienced severe devaluation.  This caused 

By way of backgro 
currencies in several major 
problems for many military members serving in these areas who were living on the economy and 
had either received OHA advances to pay their rent up front; or had leases written in U.S. Dollars 
instead of the local currency, in this cas

problem for mem 
for individuals lik 

was able to implement a solution to the 
ceived OHA advances but could not devise a similar solution 
who had their leases written in U.S. Dollars. 

The Per Diem. Travel. and 

Members in this situation were given rental advances for the remainder of their leases so 

they could be moved under the protected OHA rate and not lose any more money.  It was 
suggested that they attempt to recoup lost funds through the BCMR process. 

Therefore, we recommend the Board grant-equest 

and change his records 

to reflect that he received a rental advance and, as a result, was due reimbursement at the higher 
OHA rate.  My point of contact for this advisory is Capt McLoud, DSN 227-0682.
