Thats an idiotic accusation:
May 24, 1972 Bush given written permission by TX ANG unit to drill in Alabama with 9921 unit, so they don't expect him to be at drill in Texas. The transfer is approved on May 26th in writing. There are no drills to attend in June and July because its a non drilling unit that he was approved to go to in writing by TX ANG.
July 21, 1972 Guard renegs on his approval to drill at the 9921 Air Reserve Squadron, leaving Bush in limbo without orders anywhere. Remember he has already been released from the TX ANG so he can't drill there and because he already moved to AL on their written orders.
Sep 5, 1972 Bush requests duty with the 187th Tac Recon Group, Montgomery, AL because the Guard has not come up with an assignment for him. So during August while in Alabama Bush was looking for a local unit he could possibly join. The Bush request is approved that same day.
Oct 23-25, 1972 Bush drilled with 187th Tac Recon, AL Nov 11-14, 1972 bush drilled with 187th Tac Recon, AL
Nov. 1972 Blount campaign ends.
Bush returns to TEXAS and over the next month asks for orders to return to the TX ANG starting in January 1973.
He then performs the following drills:
Jan 4-6, 1973 Jan 8-10, 1973 Apr 7-8, 1973 May 01-03, 1973 May 8-10, 1973 May 19-20, 1973 May 22-24, 1973 May 29-31, 1973 Jun 5-7, 1973 Jun 23-24, 1973 Jul 2-3, 1973 Jul 5, 1973 Jul 9-12, 1973 Jul 16-19, 1973 Jul 21-22, 1973 Jul 23-27, 1973 Jul 30, 1973 |
