Anyone know if G W Bush ever attained combat readiness in the F102?
FWIW the ADC F102 program was 10 transition missions (no weapons
system training) followed by 36 combat crew training missions. The
last mission was a tac-eval check which qualified the stud as combat
ready and to sit alert. If GW didn't compete the training teaching him
to fly was a complete waste. BTW even if his outfit had gone to Nam he
wouldn't have gone as a crew member unless he was combat-ready.

I have no earthly idea why you posted this same general set of questions
twice in two different posts...Yes, he completed his training. No, there was
not much question of his *unit* being sent to Vietnam--they were instead
sending individual volunteers as part of Palace Alert (and not only to
Vietnam--PA could just as easily have sent an ANG pilot to Europe, Japan, or
Iceland).
