Here is what matters:It’s worth noting that George W. was the only National Guard pilot during the Vietnam war to be commissioned without any officer training whatsoever. He never attended a service academy like West Point, never took college ROTC, never went to Officers Candidate School and never served on active duty as an enlisted man.
So how did he learn to be an officer? He didn’t. The only military training George received prior to being commissioned happened during a six-week basic airman course, the equivalent of Army boot camp for privates. Even more absurd, while his fellow recruits marched, pulled KP and cleaned toilets, Airman Bush was given a week off to
work for the GOP in Florida. I LIKE GEORGE!!

Not true. He actually flew a navy jet during his first term as president to visit troops on a carrier. He didn't land it on the air craft carrier. He let the back up pilot take over. Can't say I blame him.

I believe he was the pilot of the F-102 Delta Dagger. A cool airplane, interceptor. He trained on the T-33

Is this question similar to the Clinton, "I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it. I didn't inhale and never tried it again." quote?
ANG records show GWB logged 326.4 flight hours, simulator hours are logged different and do not count toward your annual minimums. He had 3 sat years, so he had to flown.

He used to have his own plane that he piloted, so I'm guessing he initially flew in the military then picked the 2 seater up afterwards. Laura wasn't to fond of it so he stopped.

When you and dan rather stop being total idiots let me know.
He had his pilots license and really did fly the planes and jets that he had assigned to him in the Air National Guard.

Not true.
