Evidence bush was thrown out of the TANG?

[LynnTheDem]

New information with regard to the meaning of a special code which appears on George W. Bush’s Air National Guard discharge papers indicates that he was being thrown out of the Air National Guard for "failing to possess the required military qualifications for his grade or specialty, or does not meet the mental, moral, professional or physical standards of the Air Force.”

Sounds right.

1. Of course.

Didn't they just "discover" some more Bush TANG docs? I haven't heard a word about them.

3. Yes

What are these new docs?

5. Why do I google when all I have to do is search DU?

Found the LBN thread about the release of more docs last week:

Independent Review Finds Bush Records Texas National Guard Officials Missed

Weeks after Texas National Guard officials signed an oath swearing they had turned over all of President Bush's military records, independent examiners found more than two dozen pages of previously unreleased documents about Bush.

The two retired Army lawyers went through Texas files under an agreement between the Texas Guard and The Associated Press, which sued to gain access to the files. The 31 pages of documents turned over to AP Thursday night include orders for high-altitude training in 1972, less than three months before Bush abruptly quit flying as a fighter pilot.

The discovery is the latest in a series of embarrassments for Pentagon and Texas National Guard officials who have repeatedly said they found and released all of Bush's Vietnam-era military files, only to belatedly discover more records. Those discoveries - nearly 100 pages, including Bush's pay records and flight logs - have been the result of freedom of information lawsuits filed in federal and Texas courts by AP.

A Texas National Guard spokesman defended the continuing discoveries, saying Guard officials didn't find all of Bush's records because they are disorganized and in poor shape.

6. a picture of the doc.

The special code is “PTI 961”, and is found<1> in the “Reason and Authority for Discharge” section of Bush’s NGB-22, his “Report of Separation and Record of Service in the Air National Guard of Texas and as a Reserve of the Air Force.”

7. Remember the DD 256 discussion

Doesn't this add fuel to the speculation that Bush got a DD 256 UNDESIRABLE discharge?

I have filed a FOIA request asking for Bush's DD 256. It was bounced to another department. I filed back in August, and just got the notice that it was bounced today. I plan to get on the horn tomorrow to find out the status of my request.

Bush deffinately got either a 256 or 258 and NEITHER has ever been released yet.
