Defense Dept. Seeks Bush's Guard File
By Lois Romano
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, February 10, 2004; Page A07
The Defense Department has requested that President Bush's payroll records from his service in the National Guard be sent to Washington from a DOD archive in Colorado, to ascertain whether they can be released to news organizations and public interest groups that have formally requested them in recent days, according to DOD officials.
[snip]
At issue is a 12-month period, commencing in May 1972, when Bush moved to Alabama to work on a senatorial campaign. He received permission to transfer to an Alabama unit and was instructed to report to duty there. There is no definitive evidence in his file that he reported to the Alabama unit to perform drills; Bush has said he did report and perform drills.
Bush's personnel records also are vague on what he did in the Texas Guard after returning to Houston after the Senate election he worked on. The first date in the records for 1973 is May 29, when they indicate he attended drills. The records show he attended drills at least 18 times between May 29 and July 30.

You know that a lot of files from the services were burned in a warehouse fire in St. Louis. I don't know if it is the case here but the time frame sounds right.

Probably a long and interesting read and I bet hillary has a copy.
To: Just mythoughts
I'd say any of these guys who flout their military records should be obliged to have those self same records made as public as their claims. Right down to the medicals, and discharge docs.
This includes Clark, Kerry, and Bush.
I've heard many times, here actually, that Bush has released the definitive proof that this AWOL thing is bogus. I'd love to see that myself.
Seriously, if the proof is really out there, why not just put it up, and shut up the chatter?

What's the area blacked out? Anyone know?

Yeah, what about Kerry's ? I hear that he attended that anti-war, pro communist rally with Jane Fonda while still serving as an officer in the US Navy.

social security number.
The date on the above document jives with comments of Bush friends who said that he reported to the Alabama guard the weekend before the '72 election.

If there was anything in those files that could have been used against Bush, Bubba would have found it and given it to Gore before the election.

I do not disagree.
Remember we never were shown bjclintons medical records or any of his military records only a leaked letter.
Maybe we should demand a "SPECIAL" counsel to VET these people before they run. You know like the dims want on President Bush every day of the week. Make Rush the leader of the VETTING CREW.
To: ambrose
Where did you get a copy of that ARF Statement? I don't see
it on the article you hyperlinked to at the Post.
