Thanks. kerry is hiding something when he refuses to sign a release form for all his documents though. Never having been in the military I will have to trust those who have and know far more then me to sort this out. Doesn't change my vote either way, mine was promised to Bush long ago.

He was just waiting for a democrat to pardon his war crimes.

If he admits to being an informer, the anti-war crowd will turn on him. He can't afford to do that. Personally, I don't think he was an informer -- that would have required intelligence on his part.

No, he wound need to correct the record and the left would dump him.

I don't think him being an informant is the case however.

if you have the text of ?BUPERSMAN 3830300,?

It's the Naval Bureau of Personnel Manual, probably 3830.300.

I'm still searching for the directive, its a bit elusive.

There are plenty of vets posting on this thread, on FR in general and all over the web about Kerry.

The swift boat vets are for real and they don't care and will not be deterred by what either political party has to say about their efforts. This is about things much more important than politics.

I believe Kerry's complete military records would reveal just how badly he pushed for his own medals and embelished things (lied) to get them. It would also reveal that he was still a naval officer when he colluded with the anti-war people and our enemies in Paris...a very BIG no-no, but thst just my opinion.

Either way, he's toast and should have been burnt badly long ago IMHO.

If ugly doesn't begin to describe what Kerry's sealed military records are hiding, and if the Naval investigation leaks at all...which it will, of course...Kerry will resign from the ticket. Perhaps RAT honchos are already demanding answers from Kerry in private on this subject. If so, no wonder TerAysa was hauled off by ambulance to the nearest hospital the other day. She's in total meltdown at the thought of what she married, (the humiliation of it all!), and Kerry is busy blaming his staff! Nothing can save him.

If events play out as common sense dictates, then Kerry will lose his meal ticket, too. TerAYsa will walk.

Based only on what's seen here, it looks like he signed up for another six years.

Signing up for an additional six years makes absolutely no sense.

Kerry was a very public figure attacking the active military.

Why would he sign up for an additional six years?

Could you even sign up for an addiitonal six years?

I've never seen his DD214 from 1978. Kerry's web site only has letter from the SecNav, not the official discharge.

This makes no sense. I think you should drop it. The Selecyive Service Act had nothing to do with Vietnam dirctly. It only related to the operation of the draft, not the war.

There is much confusion about the terms "active Reserve" and "inactive Reserve." People in the reserve who go to monthly meetings and summser camp are in the "active Reserve (not to be confused with "activated" Reserve--- those called up to active duty.).

"inactive" means just that, you don't have to do anything at all, just keep your address up to date. You are free to pursue whatever political activities you wish.

Raising a Spocklike eyebrow, interesting. Bump for later reading and analysis.

A Google on just BUPERSMAN returns 54 replies, many that seem to be subsets of 300 (320, 340) perhaps you could piece these together.

>>>Not to rain on your parade but I think the pardons granted by Carter were for draft dodgers.

Would it have covered AWOL?

No. Going AWOL isn't a violation of the Selective Service Act (the draft).
