President Bush earned 19.2 years worth of TANG point..RIGHT????? Now, RATHER and DNC...STFU!!
There was an article posted a couple of weeks ago about how that points program worked and GWB's accumulations, but it got pulled without explanation.
It was a good, informative article.
Other than that pulled article, I have yet to see any other article that explains the points or shows the accumulations. Some news-talk and posts have made reference to the points system.

Great article up top from a fellow AF officer, but in the addendum is an excellent point-by-point refutation of all the allegations against Lt Bush in TANG. Well worth the read but too long to post.
What's interesting is that Byron York said that Dubya was full-time active duty for the first two years of his service while he went through flight training. Looks like Dubya spent more time active duty than 'Nam hero Kerry.
