After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, Ed Rasimus
confessed the following:

A very logical, reasoned and well-crafted entry to the argument. Can't
you at least save the scatology until the end/

We'll agree to disagree about gwb's interest versus the fact of rated
sup and the exodus to the airlines.

gwb lost interest, he never
said he was ineligble. gwb signed a statement of intent in 1968,
saying he planned to make flying in the TX ANG a life long commitment.

No one ever signed up for active or reserve duty to a "life long
commitment." No one. You had an active duty service commitment.

Poorly worded on my part. I'm not talking about the form we all signed
for accepting training. I'm talking about a "letter" of intent where
gwb professed that he wanted to fly and that he had a desire to make
flying a "life long" pursuit, and the best way to accomplish that was
as a pilot in the TX ANG.

Once again you are garbling full-time (the F-15A guy) who probably
accrued 1000 hours operational by the time he separated going to work
as an RTU IP (a full-time Guard slot).

Nope you assumed incorrectly...the co-worker was a fulltime airline
wienie flying as a part-time RTU IP.

"I know a guy" isn't a good basis for generalizations.

I know several, many exceptions...it proves ANG units can and do make
exceptions. So we'll ageree to disagree.

Good for you.

Thanks...I thought so.

A lot of guys I know kept flying for as long as they
could.... So what?

So what? Well you and I disagree on the motives of gwb's lack of
interest.
