                                        - 8 -                                         
          1999)2, par. 3-40, Authority to Occupy Army Lodging Facilities,             
          “When space is available,” however, it states that paid retirees            
          may occupy UPH(TDY) (unaccompanied personnel housing, temporary             
          duty) or GH (guest housing) facilities.  On equal footing with              
          paid retirees for such housing on a space available basis are               
          certain employees of the U.S. Public Health Service, National               
          Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, and foreign                   
          military personnel.  Surely, petitioners would not argue that the           
          provision means that those Federal employees and foreign military           
          personnel are on active duty with and are entitled to allowances            
          from the U.S. Army.  There is no connection between the                     
          availability of housing and the operation of 10 U.S.C. sec.                 
          2031(d)(2).                                                                 
               Petitioners have failed to take note of a more relevant                
          provision.  Army Regulation (AR) 145-2, Junior Reserve Officers'            
          Training Corps Program, Organization, Administration, Operation,            
          and Support (revision effective March 24, 2000), par. 4-20,                 
          states that “Although an instructor may receive an amount ‘equal’           
          to the military pay and allowances he or she would receive if on            
          active duty, the payments he or she receives are not, in fact,              
          military pay and allowances paid by the Army.”                              

               2AR 210-50 was revised as of October 3, 2005.  The substance           
          of the revised regulation is the same.  See AR 210-50, 3-3                  
          (Eligibility for family housing), 3-33 (Assignment of housing to            
          civilian employees), 3-34 (Assignment of housing to foreign                 
          military personnel).
