I think all the MSM outlets will milk this for all its worth.

Milk what? Missing 2 drills?

Well, the headline is grabbing. What we must do is make sure that Kerry's files are released. It would also be great if we could get Fox Broadcast channel to run a Swiftee special in the next two months. We need to apply pressure.

In a good way, with Bush's being out, Kerry will have to turn over all of His records. I'd like to know that Kerry was still in Naval reserves when he met with the Vietcong. That interests me a great deal. We need the traitor's records out on the table.

Can someone explain to me what drills he missed?!

His pay stubs show that there were times in Alabama and other places where he made drill time for severals days in each of a couple of months.

If y'all are talking about the section of the story where it says Twice Bush signed documents that he would make drill time or face punitive action...THAT DOES NOT MEAN HE MISSED DRILL TIME.

Those look to be standard in processing and out processing documents that Airman signed for entrance and exit of the Air Guard.

Looks at the statement closely...
--The GLOBE claims: "Twice during his Guard service - first when he joined in May 1968, and again before he transferred out of his unit in mid-1973 to attend Harvard Business School - Bush signed documents pledging to meet training commitments or face a punitive call-up to active duty.--

One indicates that he signed the form when he entered..the other shows that he signed another when he filed to leave for Grad School.

This is where the Globe and the AP are missing this. When Bush filed for Grad School, HE ALREADY HAD THE NEEDED HOURS FOR HONORABLE DISCHARGE. There were no more training commitments to be met. And those were set for call up. As for the summer of 72...all that time was made up when he checked in at Alabama...at the assigned times.

Over a year ago there was an article that interviewed a guy who was a tech sgt at Ellington in Texas. He said when bush left in the Spring of 72...his paperwork informed that there were no open Flight Slots in Alabama..and he would be working alternate duty. It also stated that he was not show up until the date when he did.
Why is nobody talking about that?
Does anybody have that article?

Regardless...I ask again...WHAT DRILLS DID HE MISS....THAT HE DID NOT MAKE UP?
