My experience is 11 years in the USAF, but it seems to me that one who
has not served in any branch of the military, is in no position to
tell a Guardsman how the Guard works.

What do I win for accurately predicting your pathetic weasle?

Are you gay? Are you a virologist? You've pontificated quite a bit on
these two subjects you know. Are you someone who is not gay that tells
gays how they feel and act? Are you someone who has not studied virology
(BTW, I am a microbiologist which includes virology) but feels like he's
in a position to tell people who have studied virology how viriuses
work? And let's not forget your grand theory of HIV epidemiology. Are
you an epidemiologist? Do you live in Florida? Have you voted there? You
certainly have had a lot to say about how voting works in Florida over
the past few years.

You don't have to serve in the guard to be able to read a transfer
request denial from personel headquarters. Or are there hidden messages
in it that you only learn how to decifer after you've served?

It is obvious that you will reject anything which counters your preconceived
opinion, but the simple fact is, one who is in the Guard is much more
qualified to speak to the operation of the Guard than one who has not. I
never served. I do not pretend to know everything about how the Guard works,
except that it was occasionally necessary for My Dad to miss drills, this
was no problem, he would make them up later. The concept of equivalent
training is not one which I am familiar with, but it does stand to reason
that there would be provisions for Guardsmen to do such, after all, they all
had civilian jobs.

One more point, there has been at least one individual who served with
George Bush in the Texas Guard, and according to this individual, Bush did
nothing wrong. My suggestion to you fools who keep beating this dead horse
would be to get a life.
