"Fred the Red Shirt" wrote in message om... nt (Krztalizer) wrote in message ... I thought the main issue wasn't that he served, but that he didn't complete his obligation of service? There were three points of contention that weren't on their face absurd. 1) He took a position in AL working on the Senatorial Campaign staff for a family frend. (Some sources say he was in charge which seems unlikely given his age). So he applied for a tranfer from the TX NG to the AL NG. That transfer was denied, ... THere is no evidence that Bush was ordered to return to duty in TX befor he actually did. Now, if he was paid for serving in the AL guard then I guess that at some point his tranfser was approved even if documents directly confirming that have not surfaced. You have discounted another very real probability; he could indeed have subsequently been allowed by his commander to conduct training with that Alabama unit while still assigned to his TXANG unit--known nowadays as "equivalent training", at least on the ARMG side of the NG house. Happens quite frequently. Evidently it was known as "equivalent training" back then too: http://www.talion.com/miss.gif -- FF |
