If Bush only did "paper shuffling", how did he learn how to fly a jet?

I don't get it.

My understanding was that after flight school, he did fly on a regular basis while in Texas. When transferred to Alabama for the last year of his enlistment, they did not have the same equipment, so he was not qualified to fly. Thus he showed up for drills and shuffled paperwork (a time honored NG activity, BTW)
