Tour #1-- Kerry served on the USS Gridley, which was on plane guard for a total of 82 days. Tour #2--A little nmore than four and 1/2 months in-country. Initiated a request to leave citing an obscure regulation, i.e., 3 PHs. Kerry was never hospitalized for his injuries. His first PH is questionable since his supervisor refused to approve it because it not from hostile fire. When Kerry transferred to another unit, the PH was approved mysteriously. Kerry has never released his full military records.

Hmm...I've heard that his superior officers pushed him out after 4 months, that they didn't want him there anymore.
