Opinion:
Military pay; allowance for quarters. — Plaintiff sues to recover basic quarters allowance for her rank and grade while serving as a commissioned officer in the United States Navy on the ground that the bachelor officers quarters offered her were not adequate for her station as a married woman. Defendant has moved to dismiss the petition on the ground that as a service member without dependents, plaintiff was entitled only to the assignment of quarters adequate for herself, 37 U.S.C. § 401 and § 403. Upon consideration of defendant's motion, plaintiff's opposition thereto and without oral argument, the court concluded that on the basis of 37 U.S.C. § 401, 403, Department of Defense Instruction 1138.1, Par. III.B, April 16, 1954, and 32 Comp. Gen 368 (1953), plaintiff is not entitled to recover and on September 30,1966, the petition was dismissed.
