<font color=blue>"he owed 53 months of flying"<font color=black> IZZAT so? Based on what ANG regulation? Or is that just another rumor from an unnamed source? Fact: Bush earned the minimum # of points toward his Honorable Discharge every single year he served. That is how one legally completes their ANG service time. <font color=blue> "Upon being accepted for pilot training, Bush promised to serve with his parent (Texas) Guard unit for five years once he completed his pilot training. But Bush served as a pilot with his parent unit for just two years."<font color=black> IZZAT so? based on what documentation? FWIW, the only time in question regarding Bush's TANG service is during the last two years, 1972 & 1973. The basis for the liberal media rumors & baseless allegations are so-called "gaps" in his service time. The problem with these so-called "gaps" is they were common in all branches of the NG. The major criteria necessary for an Honorable Discharge was meeting the minimum point requirements. Fact: Official records clearly establish Bush exceeded the minimum point requirements every year he served in the TANG, including 1972 & 1973. <font color=blue> "In May 1972 Bush left the Houston Guard base for Alabama. According to Air Force regulations, Bush was supposed to obtain prior authorization before leaving Texas to join a new Guard unit in Alabama. But Bush failed to get the authorization. In requesting a permanent transfer to a nonflying unit in Alabama in 1972, Bush was supposed to sign an acknowledgment that he received relocation counseling. But no such document exists."<font color=black> IZZAT so? Based on what documentation? The forged documents? So much revisionist history..... <font size=4> Fact: George Bush was NEVER assigned to the Alabama Guard. This is a myth promoted by the <font color=blue>"objective"<font color=black> media. Here is what really happened. Here is what the head of the Alabama Guard said. Turnipseed states Bush was never ordered to report to the Alabama Air National Guard. He points out that Bush never transferred from the Texas Air National Guard to the Alabama Air National Guard. He remained in the Texas Guard during his stay in Alabama. This was confirmed by the Texas Guard. And Turnipseed added that Bush was never under his command or any other officer in the Alabama Guard. Turnipseed added that Bush was informed of the drill schedule of the Alabama Guard as a courtesy so he could get credit for drills while in Alabama for his service record in the Texas Guard. There was no compulsory attendance. This was also confirmed by the Texas Guard. This was reported in the Chicago Sun-Times and has never been picked up by any other news organization. <font size=3> <font color=blue> "He was supposed to receive a certification of satisfactory participation from his unit. But Bush did not. **He was supposed to sign and give a letter of resignation to his Texas unit commander. But Bush did not."<font color=black> Fact: Read the response to the previous baseless allegations. He never transferred out of TANG. And there are no unsatisfactory appraisals in Bush's TANG files. He met or exceeded each time he was appraised & received an Honorable Discharge. These are also baseless allegations that play well with uninformed civilians who believe with their hearts, not their heads (or the facts). I'm not goint to refute your list of baseless, trumped up allegations. Debunking every single one off the top makes it more than obvious your list is just a wish list of revisionist history, baseless allegations, lies & deceit.
