I wouldn't know, since I wasn't in the National Guard then. But it makes sense.

Another indication of how Junior George used patronage to repay the illegal favors during the coverup of his record. www3.cjad.com <font color=navy>In a new development Wednesday, a retired Texas National Guard officer said he overheard a conversation in 1997 between then-governor Bush's chief of staff, Joe Allbaugh, and then-adjutant general Daniel James of the Texas Air National Guard in which he contends those two men spoke about getting rid of any military records that would "embarrass the governor." Former Lt.-Col. Bill Burkett told The AP that he saw documents from Bush's file discarded in a trash can a few days later at Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas. Burkett described them as performance and pay documents. He said the documents bore the header: "Bush, George W. 1lt." - meaning first lieutenant. James and Allbaugh deny the allegation. "The alleged discussion never happened," said James, who appointed by the president in 2002 to lead the Air National Guard. "I have never been involved in, nor would I condone any discussion or any action to falsify any record in any circumstance for anyone." Allbaugh, now a Washington lobbyist, told the Dallas Morning News that Burkett's assertions were "hogwash."</font> Sometimes Bush bribes people directly, and sometimes through ttheir children. TP

Thats exactly right. There is a document called a Muster Sheet. You do not get paid unless you show up and are recorded on the muster sheet. The reserves are so flexible to accommodate civilian job changes, geographic moves etc. If they were not this flexible, nobody would join the Reserves. Bush was actively campaigning for a Senator and requested and was granted the flexibility he needed for his "civilain full time employment". Thats how the Reserves really work. You have to have a minium number of drills in a year to have a qualifying year, and there is typically a drill schedule, but you can set your own schedule. You just have to let somebody know what your schedule is. It is really that simple.

The fact Bush got paid, in fact, is evidence he was not awol. People had to sign in to get paid. You sure about that? <<< Those pay stubs show Bush on duty the weekend of May 1-3, 1973, at Ellington Air Force Base in Houston. Yet that very same weekend, on May 2, his two superior officers at Ellington signed a report saying they could not complete his annual evaluation because "Lt. Bush has not been observed at this unit during the period of report." >>> awolbush.com :-) Tom
