                     In the Matter of JAMES E. BRAY
 
 
        James E. Bray, Japan, Claimant.
 
        Martha   J.    Irons,   Naval   Supply    Systems   Command,
   Mechanicsburg, PA, appearing for Department of the Navy.
 
   WILLIAMS, Board Judge.
 
        Claimant,  James  E.  Bray,  seeks  reconsideration  of  the
   Board's decision in  James E. Bray, GSBCA 14927-RELO, 00-1  BCA  
   30,789,denying   his   claim  that   his  household   goods  were
   erroneously shipped  to Guam and  that he is not  responsible for
   storage   charges  exceeding  $18,000.    We  concluded  that  no
   persuasive  evidence  supported  claimant's contention  that  his
   household goods were erroneously shipped  to Guam.  We noted that
   the totality  of the  documentary evidence,  including claimant's
   initial request for shipment of  his household goods, the  copies
   of DD Form  1299, as well as claimant's  travel authorization and
   the Government  bill of lading (GBL), all uniformly indicate that
   claimant requested that  his household goods be  shipped to Guam.
   Claimant contends that  he was advised  that his household  goods
   could not  have been  shipped to Guam  until his  dependents were
   authorized  to  travel   to  Guam.    Thus,   because  claimant's
   dependents never came  to Guam, he  believes his household  goods
   should not  have been  shipped, and the  storage charges  for the
   subsequent six  years should not be borne by  him.  These are the
   same  arguments  we  considered  and  rejected  in  our  original
   decision.
 
        Under  the Board's  Rules of  Procedure, "Mere  disagreement
   with  a decision or  re-argument of points already  made is not a
   sufficient ground for seeking reconsideration."  Rule 407 (48 CFR
   6104.7 (1999)).   Because  claimant's request  does nothing  more
   than reiterate  arguments he  made earlier,  the request  must be
   denied.  Synita Revels, GSBCA 14935-RELO, 00-1 BCA   30,896.
 
        In  support for  his request  for  reconsideration, claimant
   submitted  sixteen documents.    The  Board  has  reviewed  these
   documents  and concludes  that  none  of  them  demonstrate  that
   claimant's  household goods  were  erroneously shipped  to  Guam.
   These   documents  confirm  the  facts  that  the  Board  already
   understood in its original decision, in particular that dependent
   entry to Guam was restricted in 1993.  From this Mr. Bray assumes
   that his  household goods should  not have been shipped  while he
   was waiting  to obtain dependent  entry approval, and that  he is
   not responsible  for excess  storage charges.   This  ignores the
   fact  that Mr. Bray himself authorized and directed his household
   goods to  be shipped  to Guam.   The status of  the entry  of his
   dependents had no impact on  the shipment of his household goods.
 
 
        Mr. Bray's subsequent actions in Guam do not  help his case.
   While claimant contends that the household goods were erroneously
   shipped to Guam  in the first instance,  he never said  this when
   the household goods  were originally shipped.  He  knew they were
   placed in storage.  He was advised  that after ninety days he was
   responsible  for the  subsequent  storage  charges,  yet  he  did
   nothing.   Claimant was later authorized another permanent change
   of  station and  could have at  that time removed  his goods from
   storage  and transported  them to  his new  duty station,  but he
   chose  not  to  do  this,  and  instead  apparently  moved  other
   household goods and new dependents at Government expense.
 
        In  sum, the  record provides  no  basis for  this Board  to
   conclude that claimant's  household goods were shipped  in error.
   The request for reconsideration is denied.
