I get nervous every time my fellow Freepers mention Kerry's records. Being in the military, I know that Kerry's records may or may not be accurate. It is a pretty regular thing to have your service record have some mistakes in it. Also, award citations are particularly known, especially in the navy, to be sometimes full of baloney, to put it delicately. It is not unusual to get commended for something that your buddy did, or vice versa. You just look at each other and shrug at the awards ceremony.

The reason I said all that is, I'm thinking that Kerry is holding his service record to be some kind of October surprise, where he can whip it out and say, "See, it's all here" (even though it may very well be a bunch of BS that's in there)

Nah. He'd pull it out now, if it was favorable.

Kerry can't afford for this to drag on. It undercuts the entire premise for his campaign.

It will pass a point of no return.

I've seen several posts from different threads and retired military(Army,Marine Corps)have wondered if the Navy have anything like a "Unit Report" the way their particular services have. Do you know? If so,it would be great if it could be released. Thanks.
