Gosh, you're lazy, but OK. To:zonkie who wrote (40439) From: Wayne Van Scoyoc Thursday, Aug 5, 2004 11:29 AM Respond to of 40538 I read that guys site. Bush did all he could. glcq.com He has made a major error. He claims that because the TXANG didn't receive paperwork from Alabama where Bush drilled, that he must not have been drilling in Alabama between May 1972 and May 1973. This guy completely overlooks the performance points section of Bush's military records that were released that show the dates and drill credits of his during this entire so called missing year. Just because people in Alabama unit didn't do their job, doesn't equate to Bush not drilling there. The chronology is as follows: May 24, 1972 Bush given permission by TX ANG unit to drill in Alabama, so they don't expect him to be at drill in Texas. The transfer is approved on May 26th. There are no drills to attend in June and July because its a non drilling unit that he was approved to go to in writing. July 21, 1972 Guard renegs on his approval to drill at the 9921 Air Reserve Squadron, leaving Bush in limbo without orders anywhere. Remember he has already been released from the TX ANG so he can't drill there. Sep 5, 1972 Bush requests duty with the 187th Tac Recon Group, Montgomery, AL because the Guard has not come up with an assignment for him. So during August while in Alabama Bush was looking for a local unit he could possibly join. The Bush request is approved that same day. Oct 23-25, 1972 Bush drilled with 187th Tac Recon, AL Nov 11-14, 1972 bush drilled with 187th Tac Recon, AL Nov. 1972 Blount campaign ends. Bush returns to TEXAS and over the next month asks for orders to return to the TX ANG starting in January 1973. He then performs the following drills: Jan 4-6, 1973 Jan 8-10, 1973 Apr 7-8, 1973 May 01-03, 1973 May 8-10, 1973 May 19-20, 1973 May 22-24, 1973 May 29-31, 1973 Jun 5-7, 1973 Jun 23-24, 1973 Jul 2-3, 1973 Jul 5, 1973 Jul 9-12, 1973 Jul 16-19, 1973 Jul 21-22, 1973 Jul 23-27, 1973 Jul 30, 1973 Thats a total of 50 drill points for FY 1973--you only need 48. Its also 35 drill points for 1973. Notice all the make-up drills to make up for the Guard reneging on the orders to the 9921 unit. Where is the missing year? There isn't one. Don't believe the data, see usatoday.com which document every one of his drill participations. Especially see page 16 which lists drills performed and credited and clearly documented for late 1972. Nobody saw Bush in Alabama? Wrong. Joe LeFevers, a member of the 187th in 1972, said he remembers seeing Bush in unit offices and being told that Bush was in Montgomery to work on Blount's campaign. "I was going in the orderly room over there one day, and they said, 'This is Lt. Bush,'" LeFevers said Tuesday. "They pointed him out to me ... the reason I remember it is because I associate him with Red Blount." Released records also show Bush received a Dental Exam on base.
