Basic training became a requirement about 1967. By then most states also put
their people through some kind of OCS program.


Bush did not complete any sort of officer qulification program.

But it was not manditory, a
sharp troop with a good record and test taking capability had a good chance.


Bush scored in the lowest percentile allowed to qualify for pilot training. He
did not complete any sort of officer qualification course.

Note also that your notion of what OCS involved isn't even close.

I garduated from Marine Corps OCS in 1981.

Yes, he earned some of his decorations. Nobody disputes that.

Yes indeed, some. But not all.


Details?

Kerry went to war. Bush didn't


Orwell rules here, Art. The hero is attacked and the shirker applauded.

Bush skipped the last two years of his commitment.

Prove it! Otherwise belt up.


This document shows that Bush had no service between 26 May, '72 and 1 Oct, 73.

This document shows Bush assigned to a unit in Denver from 2 Oct, '73 to 21
November 73, while he actually was in graduate school.

Bush skipped out on the last two years of his commitment.

A lie. www.warbirdforum.com/bushf102.htm


You're not going to gainsay this document:

http://users.cis.net/coldfeet/doc10.gif

Bush clearly had so service from 26 May, '72 to 1 Oct, '73.

After 1 Oct, '73, Bush, per his own military resume, was stationed at a unit in
Denver while he was in graduate school on the east coast. Can you show that he
ever appeared in Denver?

Bush had no service between 26 May, 72 and his discharge on 21 Nov 74.

Bush skipped out on the last two years of his commitment. That's one
problem.

It's not a problem. It's a lie, one which you have been spitting into
the wind for the past several months.
