Even if the base print shop had professional typesetting equipment available, you would have to ask whether Lt. Bush’s office ever used such expensive printing equipment for any simple memo and whether the typesetting equipment in question is able to exactly match Microsoft Word right down to its spacing, kerning and strange little idiosyncrasies.

30 yrs ago I went to Lackland AFB in San Antonio to visit with my SIL who was graduating basic. I felt liked I'd walked into a time-warp. All the office equipment I saw in the commander's office....was OLD. I'm talking typewriters you had to manually return the carriage and had reuseable cloth ribbon. (our HS had IBM electrics for quite some time at that point)

My SIL who became a "lifer" had one big complaint about the military's mindset on office equipment. "Use it for 50yrs...then trade up for the 30yr old equip....Viola! New equipment!".

With that said.....I would be surprised if the base in question... even had access to ANY expensive typesetting equipment.
