I'm looking at a copy of Bush's 1973 carrear summary:

As of 1 Oct 73 it credits him with duty at these assignments:

"HD TR TexANG Per ANGR36-05, SO ANG-A 158, State of Texas AG Dept, Austin, Tx and transferred to ARPC (ORS), 3800 York St, denver, CO 80205 effective 2 October 1973. (DOS TexANG 1 Oct 73)."

That means he was satisfactorily discharged ( to inactive Reserve in Denver on 1 Oct 73 (start of the fiscal year), after duty in Tex Air National Gaurd Headqtrs, and officially credited duty for the Alabama Air National Guard: ANG-A 158!

Further: His Officer's Fitness Report (OER Form) for 1 May 72 to 30 Apr 73 from Texas credits him with a routine "Not Observed" default markings - exactly correct when an officer is serving, but not at the same continuous duty station as his commanding officer. The CO can't evaluate him, and the temporary station does NOT EVER issue OER's.

Hint: An Officer "AWOL" (or under any discipline!) does not get that kind of OER.

From The Washington Post:

"According to the records, Bush had been instructed to report to William Turnipseed, an officer in the Montgomery unit. "Had he reported in, I would have had some recall and I do not," Turnipseed, a retired brigadier general, told the Globe in 2000. "I had been in Texas, done my flight training there. If we had a first lieutenant from Texas, I would have remembered." .....

"....Reached in Montgomery yesterday, Turnipseed stood by his contention that Bush never reported to him. But Turnipseed added that he could not recall if he, himself, was on the base much at that time."

Thanks ! Do you have the document URL or link where you found that 'career summary' ?

I saved Hon's discharge document posted in #169 on this thread.

The reading comprehension-challenged anti-Bush crowd obviously jumped on the Not Observed comment as meaning Not Present for Duty! They are such liars, they lie to themselves.
