Was Kerry AWOL from Naval Reserves?

Irony of ironies-- there's a two year period in which there are no records of him fulfilling his drilling requirements, and no pay history during the period in question, either.

Did Kerry go AWOL? I'm certain the media is about to pursue this story with the same aggressiveness it pursued the three-month gap in Bush's records.

Any. Minute. Now.

Another Right-Wing Smear?: Jimmy Page argues that this post is erroneous. He cites this document as proof that Kerry was transferred to "inactive duty" in 1970:

[Third Paragraph] at 2400 on 3 January 1970 you will regard yourself released from all active duty and transferred to inactive duty in the U.S. Naval Reserve.

Jimmy then says, Inactive duty doesn't require reporting or drills.

That sounds like a good rebuttal, but CrushKerry has already answered that:

Contrary to what Kerry's campaign flacks say, the wording on his Release from Active Duty (to run for Congress) does NOT put him in the Inactive Reserves - it puts him in Inactive Duty status, which includes Ready Reserves with attendant drill obligation. BIG difference - though the confusion is understandable.

My military experience consists only of a three-year tour of watching The A-Team so I am not competent to say who's right.

I wonder if Kerry has ever heard that saying about people that live in glass houses?

He was too busy meeting with the North Vietnamese to attend drills. Besides, how could he take part in military dress inspections?

Reserve Commander: "where are your medals, soldier?"

Kerry: "I chucked them over a fence, sir."

Hey, don't get all Alanis on us with your definition of "irony."

Posted by: mike on September 5, 2004 01:55 PM

I think it's ironic, even in a non-Alanis way.

This irony is _delicious_! Is there more?

Ace-

If something sounds too good to be true...

From Kerry's Naval Records dated 2 Jan 1970:

Para 3:

"at 2400 on 3 January 1970 you will regard yourself released from all active duty and transferred to inactive duty in the U.S. Naval Reserve."

Inactive duty doesn't require reporting or drills.

Jimmy, come on.

Liberals never let facts get in their way for the Bush AWOL charges, so dammit, neither will we.

Jimmy Page? Is Led Zeppelin back together again? Now I know why Kerry won't talk with reporters-he is listening to the long version of Stairway to Heaven. Kerry is the only one who can clear up this mess, but he won't.
