It sounds like the President’s military records are very murky for the last half of his National Guard commitment, but one thing they do prove is that John Calhoun’s story doesn’t hold together:

John B. Calhoun, a retired lieutenant colonel in the Alabama National Guard, said Friday he remembered seeing Bush throughout the summer and fall of 1972 at Dannelly Field. Calhoun was a flight safety officer there.He said Bush was assigned to him to perform nonflight status duties as a temporary transfer from the Texas Guard.
“He came in his uniform and sat in my office reading training manuals and safety reports,” said Calhoun, 69, an Atlanta contractor.
“We didn’t have F-102s (the aircraft Bush trained on in Texas), so he couldn’t fly. He just made his drills in my office,” he added.
But the documents released Friday indicated Bush’s transfer to the Alabama squadron wasn’t approved until September 1972, months after Bush’s presence as recalled by Calhoun.
