                                        - 8 -                                         


               For the foregoing reasons, we conclude that petitioner                 
          received compensation from the school district and received no              
          qualified military benefit for purposes of section 134(b) with              
          respect to his services as a JROTC instructor.  No portion of               
          petitioner’s income from the school district is excludable from             
          petitioners’ 2002 gross income.4                                            
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              

                                             Decision will be entered for             
                                        respondent.                                   

















               4We note that respondent, if he permitted these allowances             
          to be excluded from petitioners’ income for any prior tax year,             
          would not be bound thereby to do the same for the year in suit.
