Bush, like every active, reserve, and guard line Air Force officer, spent six to twelve weeks in officer training school in temporary active duty status. If he went to the active duty's office training school he was assigned as a member of an active duty unit, at an active duty base. Some Air National Guard officer candidates are trained at their own school, called the Adademy of Military Science.
Bush, like every active, reserve, and guard Air Force pilot, spent one year on a permanent change of station (PCS) active duty assigment to pilot training. During that time, Bush was on active duty status assigned as a member of an active duty unit, at an active duty base (in Bush's case Moody AFB Georgia). Because this was an active duty, permanent change of station assignment, the Air Force would have paid to move Bush and his household goods to the training base. If Bush was married at the time (he was not), he would be eligible for on-base family housing, the same as other active duty members. After his training was complete, as it was a PCS move back to his guard unit, the Air Force would pay for his move back. He then would be discharged from the active duty, and return to a reserve status.
Bush, like every active, reserve, and guard Air Force pilot, spent several weeks in a temporary duty status (TDY) active duty assigment to Air Force land and water survival training. During that time, Bush was on active duty status assigned as a member of an active duty unit, at an active duty base.
Bush, may have spent several weeks to several months in a temporary duty status (TDY) active duty assigment for training in his particular aircraft (F102) and mission. During that time, Bush was on active duty status, probably assigned as a member of an active duty unit at an active duty base.
These morons at the DNC are clueless. This will get thrown back to them if Bush produces his training report from pilot training. The training report for a PCS training assignment suffices for an Officer Effectivenes Report (OER) during that period, and as such is an official part of one's personnel record.
It is time to nail Kerry on this. He (via his proxy, the DNC) is attacking the honorable service of veterans, just like he did in 1971.
Just look at the service number on all documents related to his service. Starts off "AF".
Ends the debate right there.
