Was Lt. Kerry AWOL from the Ready Reserve?

 

On 18 Feb. 1966 John Kerry signed a 6 year enlistment contract with the Navy (plus a 6-month extension during wartime).

On 18 Feb. 1966 John Kerry also signed an Officer Candidate contract for 6 years -- 5 years of ACTIVE duty & ACTIVE Naval Reserves, and 1 year of inactive standby reserves (See items #4 & $5).

Because John Kerry was discharged from TOTAL ACTIVE DUTY of only 3 years and 18 days on 3 Jan. 1970, he was then required to attend 48 drills per year, and not more than 17 days active duty for training. Kerry was also subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Additionally, Kerry, as a commissioned officer, was prohibited from making adverse statements against his chain of command or statements against his country, especially during time of war. It is also interesting to note that Kerry did not obtain an honorable discharge until Mar. 12, 2001 even though his service obligation should have ended July 1, 1972.

Lt. John Kerry's letter of 21 Nov. 1969 asking for an early release from active US Navy duty falsely states "My current regular period of obligated service would be completed in December of this year."

On Jan. 3, 1970 Lt. John Kerry was transferred to the Naval Reserve Manpower Center in Bainridge, Maryland.

Where are Kerry's Performance Records for 2 years of obligated Ready Reserve, the 48 drills per year required and his 17 days of active duty per year training while Kerry was in the Ready Reserves? Have these records been released?

Has anyone ever talked to Kerry's Commanding Officer at the Naval Reserve Center where Kerry drilled?

On 1 July 1972 Lt. John Kerry was transferred to Standby Reserve - Inactive.
On 16 February 1978 Lt. John Kerry was discharged from US Naval Reserve.

Below are some of the crimes Lt. Kerry USNR committed as a Ready Reservist, while he was activing as a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War:

1. Lt. Kerry attended many rallies where the Vietcong flag was displayed while our flag was desecrated, defiled, and mocked, thereby giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
2. Lt. Kerry was involved in a meeting that voted on assassinating members of the US Senate.
3. Lt. Kerry lied under oath against fellow soldiers before the US Senate about crimes committed in Vietnam.
4. Lt. Kerry professed to being a war criminal on national television, and condemned the military and the USA.
5. Lt. Kerry met with NVA and Vietcong communist leaders in Paris, in direct violation of the UCMJ and the U.S. Constitution.

Lt. Kerry by his own words & actions violated the UCMJ and the U.S. Code while serving as a Navy officer. Lt. Kerry stands in violation of Article 3, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Lt. Kerry's 1970 meeting with NVA Communists in Paris is in direct violation of the UCMJ's Article 104 part 904, and U.S. Code 18 U.S.C. 953. That meeting, and Kerry's subsequent support of the communists while leading mass protests against our military in the year that followed, also place him in direct violation of our Constitution's Article 3, Section 3, which defines treason as "giving aid and comfort" to the enemy in time of warfare. (see photo below). The Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3, states, "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President ... having previously taken an oath ... to support the Constitution of the United States, [who has] engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

Since Lt. Kerry engaged in insurrection, rebellion and gave aid and comfort to the enemy while a member of the U.S. Armed Forces in violation of his oath, John Kerry should discontinue his campaign for the presidency and resign his seat in the U.S. Senate. Kerry disgraced his citizenship, and dishonored the USA. He is not fit for any public office, much less the highest office in the land.

John Forbes Kerry should also be tried for treason on behalf of the thousands of GIs who were killed and maimed while Kerry was aiding their enemy, and held to account for his part in the slaughter of millions of Asians by communists after the US abandoned SE Asia.

You are reading rules related to the Selected Reserve. The selected reserve consists of those folks who have a voluntary or statutory drilling obligation and are being paid to drill. Kerry was not in the Selected reserve.

Believe me - as a retired O6 in the reserves - the rules and organization of the Naval Reserve are quite complex. Don't surmise what you don't know.

[AndyJackson]

I read it already and waving it my face proves nothing. If you have a point make it. I don't see how any of this applies to Kerry in an inactive reserve status.

[lilylangtree]

Ketchupman AWOL? Made me a believer given that he's already a traitor.

[jwalsh07]

How did Kerry end up with a 12 year obligation?

[AndyJackson]

He was not AWOL. I ain't here defending Kerry, but he had no obligation to drill. It was and is the law.

[Dante3]

bttt

[AndyJackson]

He didn't. He had a 6 year obligation upon acceptance of his commission as a reserve officer (unless you graduate from the Naval Academy your original appointment, even serving on active duty, is in the Naval Reserve). Once commissioned you hold your commission until you resign your commission. I would guess he did not resign his commission for a long time, probably having forgotten all about it.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

the point.......art 3 (a).....an offense punishable by death

Treason

The door is WIDE OPEN for kerry to have been or to be in a Military Court.

(I must admit that I agree with you about the AWOL theory.....kerry's unusual length ond circumstances of membership is a mystery, and it could possibly be related to article 3 offense(s))

[AndyJackson]

What part of not being in a duty status when he allegedly committed treason do you not understand?

[Paulus Invictus]

Good job crush! How in the world can you get this info into the MSM? Is there any hope that could happen? It is so frustrating to see the facts ignored all the time by the bigs. The MSM are still wondering daily about Bush's record in Alabama, but nary a word about Kerry's absence while still on duty as a reservist.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

"What part of not being in a duty status when he allegedly committed treason do you not understand?"

Art 3 (a) trunps the above.

(unless you can show that he resigned his commission prior to 1978 or whenever the actual truth is re: his final discharge)

[AndyJackson]

The cited article relates to the statute of limitations. First, however, you have to have jurisdiction, and the UCMJ does not confer jurisdiction over acts committed in civilian status.

[AndyJackson]

Is there any hope that could happen?

You better hope that they don't because this is wrong. Get Kerry on things he really did, not things that you would like to imagine are illegal but are not.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

slight correction......Article 43 (a), not 3 (a)

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

You are trying to make me believe that a commissioned officer of the United States is allowed to commit treason during a time of war, LOL.

[AndyJackson]

Article 2 of the UCMJ. Persons subject to this chapter

(a) The following persons are subject to this chapter:

(1) Members of a regular component of the armed forces, including those awaiting discharge after expiration of their terms of enlistment; volunteers from the time of their muster or acceptance into the armed forces; inductees from the time of their actual induction into the armed forces; and other persons lawfully called or ordered into, or to duty in or for training in, the armed forces, from the dates when they are required by the terms of the call or order to obey it.

....

(3) Members of a reserve component while on inactive-duty training, but in the case of members of the Army National Guard of the United States or the Air National Guard of the United States only when in Federal service.

------------------------------------------------------------

Kerry was not on inactive-duty training.

[AndyJackson]

You are trying to make me believe that a commissioned officer of the United States is allowed to commit treason during a time of war, LOL.

This is not an argument about legality, but about jurisdiction. Upon discharge he was not subject to the UCMJ. Treason is prohibited to all citizens under other federal statute.

ART. 2. PERSONS SUBJECT TO THIS CHAPTER
(a) The following persons are subject to this chapter:

---

Art 2 (d) (1) states:

(d)(1) A member of a reserve component who is not on active duty and who is made the subject of proceedings under section 815 (article 15) or section 830 (article 30) with respect to an offense against this chapter may be ordered to active duty involuntary for the purpose of-
(A) investigation under section 832 of this title (article 32);
(B) trial by court-martial; or
