Here's the link showing where Bush asked not to be sent to Vietnam
Bush
Bush joined the Texas Air National Guard after his student deferment ran out when he graduated from Yale in 1968.
"His score on the pilot aptitude section, one of five on the test, was in the 25th percentile, the lowest allowed for would-be fliers."
Bush received a direct appointment, allowing him to become a second lieutenant right out of basic training without having to go though officer candidate school. The direct appointment also cleared the way for a position in pilot training school.
On Bush's application to the 147th Fighter Group at Ellington Air Force Base in Texas, Bush was asked what his "Area Assignment Preferences" were. Bush checked the box beside "Do Not Volunteer" for overseas duty.

2. I had seen a show wherein they displayed a FOIA copy of the document ...
with the 'overseas duty' area blacked out. But not blacked out was an empty line where something would have been entered had Dubya volunteered for such duty. LOL!

5. I still say aWol never fly a jet solo. Not once! And I'm sure I could
prove it if given the resources. And given I didn't get assassinated like J. Clifford Baxter did.
