After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, Tempest

He didn't get permission.

OK...busted, I should have posted he had "permission" since apparently
some of his points were acquired in AL. I mean he does have some
points for Oct and Nov 1972, and Rufus G Martin, Maj TX ANG signed off
his points.

He received "permission" after the fact.

The document is posted at www.awolbush.com, it's dated after he was told
to reappear in Texas.

His request was denied.

But somehow he was able to get credit for drill periods in Oct and Nov
72 while in AL.

See above.

He left TX anyway.

True, but don't make it sound like he had to stay within the borders
of TX. That statement sounds like he was fighting extradition to flee
prosecution for some drug bust...[some will find the irony and or
humor in this...or not]

Not my intention.

Please re-read this paragragh I wrote...

The most likely scenario was that GWB put in a little (we're talking
VERY little) "VFR face time," but literally didn't do anything but
walk around unsupervised, drink coffee, have mock dog-fights with his
right hand shooting the watch on his left wrist while telling, "There
I was..." stories.

This particular angle on the AWOL business makes the most sense to me.

It follows the "too stupid to be..." theme that Dubya has lived by.

Can't you just picture a definitive biography of GWB, with the chapters titled
as following?


Too stupid to be a preppy

Too stupid to be an Eli

Too stupid to be an ANG pilot

Too stupid to be an oil company exec

Too stupid to be a ...
