Petitioner was authorized 12 paid drills during the period 1
October to 31 December 1993.
drills of 4-5 December 1993 but instead drilled on 29-30 December
1993.
The 4-5 December drills were erroneously entered as
authorized absences, which means they counted towards the
completion of the 12 drill limitation and could not be made up.
Thus, the 29-30 December drills were in excess of the authorized
12 drills.
Subsequently,
he was paid for the 29-30 December drills, but was not informed
of the error until 1999 when the Defense Finance and Accounting
Center (DFAS) informed him he was overpaid $626.38.
opinion recommends that the record be corrected to establish
Petitioner’s entitlement to the drill pay.

Petitioner retired on 1 January 1994.

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record the
Board concludes that Petitioner’s request warrants favorable
action.

corrected to show that his absences from the regularly scheduled
drill on 4-5 December were excused vice authorized absences and
the excused drills were made up on 29-30 December 1993.

made up on 29-30 December 1993.

That this Report of Proceedings be filed in Petitioner’s
