After only 3 months in Guard Dubya allowed to go on inactive duty?
September 1968:
After basic training (enlisted May 27, 1968), Bush pulls inactive duty to act as gopher (sic) on Florida Senator Edward J. Gurney's campaign.

November 1968:
After Gurney wins, Bush is reactivated and transferred to Georgia.

"transferred to Georgia"? I don't remember reading anywhere else that Dubya spent any time in Georgia.

Is this article totally wrong?

2. You can't fit nothing in a F-102 except your ass-
and it better not be a fat ass. Yet, on second thought, there's plenty of room for a fat head>

3. Didn't he do flight training at Moody AFB?
Man, I bet that instructor was scared SHITLESS! Can you imagine being in a plane with Georgie at the control stick?

Take a look at this story. Here are some snips:

George W. Bush began flying a two-seat training jet more frequently and twice required multiple attempts to land a one-seat fighter in the weeks just before he quit flying for the Texas Air National Guard in 1972, his pilot logs show.

The records also show Bush required two passes to land an F-102A fighter on March 12 and April 10, 1972. His last flight as an Air National Guard pilot was on April 16.


This gets back to the issue I have with Killian MFR that suspends Georgie's flight status. The main part in there is NOT that he missed a physical (although that is big), but rather the bit about "failure to perform to USAF/TexANG standards."

Did he wreck a plane, or almost wreck a plane?

As part of the investigation for that, did he get popped with a urinalysis that showed cocaine use?

4. Major media says nothing about pilot logs!
but what did I expect from the not right wing GOP controlled US Media - they just act that way.
