i am an army reserve drill sergeant

Don't know if the Air National Guard is like the Reserve in this, but is it true that physicals are scheduled around birthdates? The "memo" that "orders" Bush to take his physical does not correspond to his b-day.

I know there are "birth-month audits" that occur yaerly on your birth month. But that is to get your paperwork up to date. Physicals are only required every 5 years, and I have been in for 9 1/2 years, so my next one is coming up and I don't really remember when my first one was.
But I do know that I read an interview with someone from Bush's unit who said that it was a regular occurance for a pilot to miss his physical due to civilian obligations. And that a make-up exam could be tricky to get, because the medical staff was mostly week-end-warriors as well, and they wouldn't automatically open up shop to suit one person.
