Bush Flew Fighter Jets During Vietnam

The law has always required males to register (since the original
establishment of selective service.) If you were in the DEP or
awaiting a training date you reported that as well and were
immediately recategorized. Males still have to register on their 18th
birthday.


ON the 18th birthday?

Well, I joined the Marine Corps on my 18th birthday and my recruiter told me
not to worry about it.

Actually I believe there was a grace period. Thirty days?

Let's asume you actually talked to a recruiter did it ever occur to you he was
not in a position where he could tell you to violate the law? If you went
straight to active duty you would have been classified 1-C. If you went DEP you
would have been classified 1-D. If the draft had stayed in effect and you had
completed the mininum total service, 6 years then (8 years now) IIRC, you would
have been classified 4-A

Based on many of your posts I seriously doubt you served a day in any branch of
the military.

I registered for the draft in November 1960 and I was 21 years and two
months old. I had enlisted at 17 and wasn't required to register at that
time. I was classified as 4A, still got my draft card, and I had only
served about 3 and a half years. Didn't get my discharge until July 1963
after completion of my six-year obligation. Minor nit pick but you're
otherwise right. Shocked the hell out of the draft board ladies when I
walked in to register at 21 though. I don't think either of them had
ever registered a kiddie cruiser.

Nope.

I guess that explains why you try to pass off half baked political theories and
accusations on us.

That's not the same as you claimed originally. What Marine unit were you in?

At a guess FMF, REMF Supply Battalion. And of course a rifleman
by courtesy at least.

My claims have been consistent.

I was at Parris Island from 11/12/73 to 2/11/74. I had ten days leave and
seven days transit time before I had to report to Intantry Training School at
Camp San Onofre -- Camp Pendleton.

Here's a picture I took from San Onofre of Mount Mother****er in 1974:

http://members.aol.com/walterm140/mountmother****er.jpg

I graduated from ITS on 4/12/74. I had a follow on school at Portsmouth --
the Sea Duty Indoctrination Course. That was a 4 week course. From McGuire
AFB I flew to Rota, Spain and joined the Marine Detachment of the U.S.S. Simon
Lake.

Here's a picture of the Lake:

Here's a picture I took in the Marine Detachment in 1975. That's Tye Wright
and FiFi King in the foreground. In the left background is Gunnery Sergeant
Carlos Hathcock. Gunny Hathcock killed 93 men in Viet Nam. Some of his real
accomplishments were fictionalized in the movie "Sniper."

What percentage of those on this NG who challenge your service ever volunteered
for anything, much less the Marines?

Is that a Bondo patch down low on the right rear and looks like rust
just under the door?
