Brooks And, the "order" to take the physical came just three weeks into the 90 day period available before Bush's birthday--unlikely the orderer could anticipate that Bush would be derelict 75 days after the order. And, I never in 23 years of flying saw an "order" from the commander to take a physical. More typically a form came down from the Wing Stan/Eval with a list of annual requirements to be accomplished during the 90 days prior to birthdate--things like instrument school, check ride, written proficiency test, simulator check and physical. And, I never saw someone write a CYA memo that called it that in the subject header! If you're going to cover your ass, you don't identify it as a memo to cover your ass! That hit me as very strange as well. I did do a few "memorandums for record" regarding questionable (usually ethically) issues and slipped them into my own file, but I sure as heck did not keep them around for years, nor did I append serial numbers, etc. And, proper terminology is spell out the meaning after the acronym, not before as in "no later than (NLT)" which should be "NLT (no later than)". But, what do I know? Apparently not as much as Dan "Booted from the USMC" Rather, who is seemingly going to man his post as the water laps around his feet and his vessel starts its final plunge... :-) Brooks The best thing Bush's supporters can say about him is that he did the absolute minimum service required of him.
