At least get your information straight.  The AWOL claim was started by
someone who doesn't understand the terminology used in military records.
-----------------------

All the cited documents are an assortment of standard form letters that
are found in many reserve pilots records. The "smoking gun" AWOL proof
cite is actually a standard report evaluation of ANG members that have
transferred during an evaluation period. Each command is required to
submit an evaluation record even if the member is no longer there to
keep a constant an unbroken line of evaluation. The "smoking gun"
terminology of "Not observed at this station" is the exact proper
wording found in any members record of evaluation during a transfer
which oddly the previous cited documents actually prove was the case.
This is the standard evaluation extension language used in almost all
military records. 

For the Navy the block is listed with "Not Observed" for the Army it
lists "not present for evaluation�. The flight suspension letter is also
a commonplace form letter suspending flying till an annual physical exam
is completed. 

This other "smoking gun" is such a common occurrence especially in the
ANG that there are other people than George Bush listed on it using the
same exact terminology. The AWOL claim is merely wishful thinking by
some who simply misunderstand what the military documents say or don't
know how common they really are in many service members records.
 
In the final months of George Bush's ANG reserve commitment "when Bush
decided to go to business school at Harvard in the fall of 1973, he
requested and got an honorable discharge--eight months before his
service was scheduled to end." The military does not and cannot by
regulation, issue an Honorable Discharge to anyone that has been AWOL or
otherwise seriously reprimanded as the resume tries to claim.
