What does no more and no less mean to a contract? *Is Integrity.. recieveing the "sign-off" or found in completion of the requirements?
Young GW Bush fresh from Yale in 1968 joined the Texas Guard by signing a 6 year toal agreement. This enlisted him in a unit and released him from the US draft in lue of his previous student deferment. Some portion of that agreement was to be training, flight school and a period of active service followed by a time in the "Ready Reserve" then followed by transfer to the "Inactive Reserve" and then discharge or re-enlistment. I myself was offered a 4 year active term followed by 2 years in-active reserve. *I selected a 2 year active duty period that included 3 years of "Ready Reserve" where I was required to attend weekend drills monthly, Sat. morn to Sunday eve. At each and every "drill" Attendence was taken at a muster (Quarters) at the start and the end of the weekend. I was "allowed" to miss one weekend drill a year, but no more. Failure to attend without authorized absence would result in a series of actions to enforce my manditory attendendence. *Transfer to the inactive reserve required no attendence at drills or uniformed service. Successful fullfillment of the requirements resulted in "discharge" under general, medical or Honorable circum- stances. The case with President GW Bush is not that he holds a discharge recorded as Honorable, but what was his requirements with reguard to attendence when transfering to the Alabama Guard in 1972. If the transfer was to a "inactive status" that is one thing. and transfering to a "inactive reserve unit" another<G> *If then lt. Bush was required by his contract to drill.. He would have presented his orders at the soonest possible arrivial and been assigned a "billet" (*Naval term for job position) added to the mail list and pay record. His personal record would reflect that. 1972 however is pre-computer and I can understand that over the years such history may be lost. But I susspect another truth exists.. It is possible that a young GW Bush had his fill of the Texas guard and waited to be contacted, moved again and in the process did not care to keep his unit informed of his situation. At some point, his records show he failed to present himself for flight physical and was administratively grounded. In time the mail caught up to Lt. Bush and he felt it important to come in and report. I beleve he made a case of some sort explaining his absence as well as his firm plans to attend Harvard Business School. *I speculate... Bush himself can't remember. There are ways to address such missing time in the record by the US Military. Lt.Bush is a very lucky and priviliged young man. No punitive action was ordered. Conclusion- Honorable discharge? *yes.. Pay records in Texas? *yes.. Missing from assigned duty? *yes Expected to report? *Yes AWOL? Affirmitive. -=A=- ===== *High MORALE is the Index of effective Leadership. --------------********+********-------------------- Morale raises belief of the Leader in the follower, of the follower in the Leader, of each in themself, and both in the .....cause! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
