1. It's highly unusual that Bush was mustered out as a 1st Lt. If you kept
your nose relatively clean, you made 1st Lt. 3 years after your commission
as a 2nd Lt. Two years later, you made Captain. As long as you just put
your time in, it was automatic. That he didn't make Captain prior to his
discharge is very telling. Reason: He wasn't there long enough.


He received a "direct" commission after AF Basic training as a 1st Lt, but even so, he should have been eligible for promotion, right?.


on edit: hehehe, can you see him actually getting the "yell in the face treatment" from a Lackland TI?
