Not according to those he served with. <br /><br />GWB is on record as requesting transfer to a unit that was flying in SE Asia, but he didn't have the required hours in his rated aircraft. IIRC, they turned down a request for a variance on that.<br />They withdrew the aircraft from duty in that area before he attained enough hours to qualify for that duty.<br /><br />That fighter jet he was flying is still rated as the most hazardous Air Force plane to fly.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596231821271459872.post-36983297439122126672017-03-07T21:41:19.373-05:002017-03-07T21:41:19.373-05:00As far as I can tell, the current crop of dims don...As far as I can tell, the current crop of dims don't have any values at all, which makes it easy for them to be flexible in issues like this one.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596231821271459872.post-39291968260425855952017-03-07T14:44:28.158-05:002017-03-07T14:44:28.158-05:00It never matters until, in their minds, it's a...It never matters until, in their minds, it's a deal breaker...
