Well to save you a lot of trouble the gist of it is when Bush drilled in Oct and Nov 1972, he didn't do the drills on the usual UTA days when everybody would have been there. A National Guard unit like that has people there all the time. On a UTA day, a regular training day, everybody is there. Bush drilled according to the point records on USAtoday in .pdf, he didn't drill on either of the UTA days. There were still people there, but only a handful. Thats why there aren't oodles of people saying they saw him. I don't know why they are looking for pay records. They aren't needed. They would confirm the point-drill-date records which have survived but whats the point. The records show Bush drilled on Oct 24-25, the UTA was 7-8 Oct so very few people saw him. The records show Bush drilled on 11-14 Nov, the UTA was 4-5 Nov so few people saw him. However, somebody recorded his presence because he got the points for those drills and got paid for them too otherwise they wouldn't be recorded in the points records. Bush was also partly screwed by the Guard who said he was approved to go to the 9921st unit, then reneged on that authorization 2 months later and left Bush to find another unit, which he did within a few weeks. Thats what really happened.
