Kerry joined the Naval Reserves and was called up, now we know he served on the USS Gridley then transferred off to get into the Swift Boats where he served for 4 rousing months before being transferred back to the States.
Once back in the states he was working as an Admiral's aide in New York I think then asked to be let out of active duty to return to Mass. to run for Congress. Of course that is when he became an antiwar protester.
Now a stint in the Naval Reserves is usually for 6 years. The question that has never been answered is did he finish his time in the reserves? If so where and where are his records for this??
He talks of Bush being AWOL well what about Kerry????????

Total, combination of active duty and active/inactive reserve, obligated service was six years. Kerry wasn't a drilling reservist but rather was in the IRR. The "Kerry was AWOL from the reserves" argument is bogus. Doesn't excuse his criminal behavior following his return from Viet Nam and leaving active duty.

Lt. Kerry Wasn't AWOL
