<<How can he enlist and serve for less than 2 years? That's a draftee. >> By volunteering for the draft as I did. Same as with the draft on no choices of MOS or station but you get a RA number instead of a US number. 2 years less 90 day early out for school. Now Al, lets say he did 10 weeks basic and the same AIT plus a week of leave, that's 21 weeks, plus 23 weeks in Nam that's 43 weeks. 2 years is 104 weeks so he was AWOL 61 weeks or more than a year by the standard Bush was held to.
