Everything about Kerry is a little bit deceptive. johnkerry.com At the end of that link you will read the words, "April 29, 1970 Kerry listed as Registrant who has completed service." That is pure hokem. What does that mean? What do you think it means? Does it mean Kerry had fulfilled his service obligation? Does it mean he was discharged from the Navy? The answer is no and no. On April 30th, he was still an officer in the US Navy. It only meant that he was no longer eligible for the draft. But even that is not completely true because in a national mobilization he would be eligible for recall. In fact as a reserve officer he would be called first. I believe the reason for that entry is to hide the fact that Kerry was still a reserve officer when he negotiated with the the NVA in Paris and when he gave his Senate testimony. Let's look at these 2 lines... February 18, 1966 Kerry formally enlists in the U.S. Navy<< December 16, 1966 Kerry receives commission as an Ensign<< On Feb 18 when Kerry enlisted in the Navy as a Seaman, he incurred a 4 year active duty obligation and a six year total service obligation. On Dec 16 he was discharged to accept a reserve officer commission. I can tell you with absolute certainty it was a reserve commission because you could not and still cannot get a regular commission right out of OCS. So Kerry got out of the regular Navy as a Seaman after 10 months to join the Navy Reserves as an Ensign. Kerry was a reservist. GWB was a National Guardsman. No difference. After release from active duty Kerry was reassigned back to a Navy reserve unit. Notice please, that he does not list his discharge date. That is because he wants to hide it. We need look at Kerry's reserve attendance records! CB...Thanks for the tip. uw
