Ted Re..In any case, I have never heard of the military being so lax with its rules. When have you heard of someone getting out of the military a year early because they wanted to go to grad school? If it happens, its so rare the moon turns blue more frequently And just how would you know that. Do you have personal knowledge of Alabama's national gurard policies. Mr. Bush was a coke snorting, beer drinking frat boy who had been busted a couple of times You don't know for sure Gw snorted coke, but we do know Kerry was a war criminal, who killed women and children. We know because he bragged about it. Perhaps we should go over every day of Kerry's tour, and find out exactly how many.

"The records indicate that, despite his move to Alabama, Bush met his obligation to the Guard in the 1972-73 year. At that time, Guardsmen were awarded points based on the days they reported for duty each year. They were given 15 points just for being in the Guard, and were then required to accumulate a total of 50 points to satisfy the annual requirement. In his first four years of service, Bush piled up lots of points; he earned 253 points in his first year, 340 in his second, 137 in his third, and 112 in his fourth. For the year from May 1972 to May 1973, records show Bush earned 56 points, a much smaller total, but more than the minimum requirement (his service was measured on a May-to-May basis because he first joined the Guard in that month in 1968). Bush then racked up another 56 points in June and July of 1973, which met the minimum requirement for the 1973-74 year, which was Bush's last year of service. Together, the record "clearly shows that First Lieutenant George W. Bush has satisfactory years for both '72-'73 and '73-'74, which proves that he completed his military obligation in a satisfactory manner," says retired Lt. Col. Albert Lloyd, a Guard personnel officer who reviewed the records at the request of the White House." 66.216.126.164
