[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay: [QB] ...or not.

This document charts active duty days served from the time of his enlistment. His first year, a period of extensive training, young Bush is credited with serving 226 days. In his second year in the Guard, Bush is shown to have logged a total of 313 days. After Bush got his wings in June 1970 until May 1971, he is credited with a total of 46 days of active duty. From May 1971 to May 1972, he logged 22 days of active duty. Then something happened. From May 1, 1972 until April 30, 1973 -- a period of twelve months -- there are no days shown, though Bush should have logged at least thirty-six days service (a weekend per month in addition to two weeks at camp). I found out that for the first four months of this time period, when Bush was working on the U..S Senate campaign of Winton Blount in Alabama, that he did not have orders to be at any unit anywhere.[/QUOTE] AND [QUOTE]As an "obligated reservist," Bush was ineligible to serve his time in what amounted to a paper unit with few responsibilities. As the unit's leader, Lieutenant Colonel Bricken recently explained to the Boston Globe, "We met just one weeknight a month. We were only a postal unit. We had no airplanes. We had no pilots. We had no nothing."[/QUOTE] Double U working to keep Charlie out of Texas and Alabama must have been a sight...at least when he showed up.
