The colonel remained in the Guard. That was a choice not an
obligation. GWB, was honorably released from the Guard. That was a
choice not an obligation.

The issue is not whether anyone managed an "honorable release", but
whether
GWB managed to actually physically serve his complete tour, or was paid
while not performing is reserve function.

Can you read my lips. During two full years of training, GWB was FULL
TIME active duty. During the next 18 months he pulled operational
alert in the TANG. During the last six months before release, he was
assigned to Montgomery at Dannelly Field which was in the process of
conversion from RF-84s to RF-4Cs. His assignment there was to
NON-FLYING duties (he wasn't qualified in the Phantom nor trained as a
reconnaisance pilot.) The unit in transition did not have aircraft
available at the time.

How, then, was this situation considered "equivalent training"?

ET is the term used to cover a memeber's attendance at drill outside of the
regularly scheduled drill, and possibly with another unit; it does not mean
that the training he/she conducts is "the same as" or "equal to" the unit's
training.

As for your
invitatin to read your lips: thank you but no, thank you. I am not yet
prepared to accept you as being some sort of oracle. To repeat, the issue
is
whether GWB received pay although he failed to carry out his Reserve
obvligations?

He has demonstrated a much better grasp of reality in this case than you
have, and his knowledge basein regard to the subject at hand is obviously
leaps and bounds beyond your own, but you continue to argue with him, even
to the point of grasping to that ridiculous "records center is a
disciplinary unit" crap well beyond the point of reasonable debate and after
a number of other folks had also clubbed you between the eyes with a 16-inch
clue wrench.
