DEVELOPING HARDER: No evidence that Bush made up any of his training sessions during his “Alabama campaign;” In fact, White House documents appear to show he never made up the training at all…..

By John Byrne | Raw Story Editor

A closer examination of President George W. Bush’s records of his service in the Texas Air National Guard and the Air Reserve reveals that as much as 60 percent of Bush’s substitute training sessions scheduled were invalid under Air Force regulations because they were conducted more than 15 days in advance of his scheduled training, according to an investigation by RAW STORY.

He was also paid for each of these invalid “makeup sessions,” according to the documents released by the White House.

On one weekend in 1972, and four weekends in 1973, according to documents released by the White House, Bush attended makeup training sessions for sessions he intended to miss. Each of those makeup sessions, credited for the days beginning 11/13/72, 1/06/73, 1/09/73, 7/16/73 and 7/18/73, were scheduled more than 15 days before the scheduled service date.
