Bush National Guard service - 6 days out of 36?

[Eric J in MN]

Is this accurate?

From May 1972 to May 1973, there are pay stubs for only 6 days.

Bush was required to served 36 days.

11 months - 1 weekend each - 2 days each - 22 days.
1 month - 2 weeks - 14 days.

6 days served out of 36 required.

1. in my opinion

i wouldn't believe anything written in those papers, they have had plenty of time and connections to take out or put in anything they want too,, It wouldn't surprise me if they found papers stating he won the congressional medal of honor protecting Alabama from Georgia..

2. Actually, it's 39 days. . .

The two weeks actually extends to 15 days, and there are a few drills that are 2.5 days (start on Friday night instead of Saturday morning).

At least that's the way the Army National Guard works (been there done that).

3. a former ANG pilot here said 110 days annually

counting flight time, drills and camp
look for DemoTex and Trof threads on the subject they know what they are talking about.
