Absolute bullshit Guest. Knowing that you appear to be massively ignorant about the UCMJ, I will not dignify your stupidity with a technical answer, but if you had an ounce of dignity you might want to refer to the Washington Post article I have noted several times above. If you are so knowledgable, perhaps you can explain when and how a UA is converted to AWOL (this is a test, and only a test...).

And twice I actually rode in one of those F something jets (out to a carrier and back to Okinawa). A couple of things Teribus politely avoids mentioning is that when the catapult throws you down the deck (and you are doing your best to keep your hands together, and not touch any of those "dohickeys") the force stuffs your balls so far up your throat, you're going to have to open your mouth just to pee. But not to worry 'cause when you land and hook a line, the force causes your dick and your tongue to smack into the seatback of the pilot in front of you. I bet you thought that hoseline Bush was carrying off the plane was an air mask line... but it only lasts for a short time...

As for the Commanding Officers not seeing Bush, the twits in this crowd don't understand that since the COs are are full-time, with weekends off, while the Obligors are flying on the weekends, it was rare for the CO to see any of the reservists. And after reading the Post article, you might have to digest the FACT that his fellow pilots thought he was an excellent officer and pilot.

Now I was just a ground-pounding Marine Officer in Viet Nam, drafted out of college and commissioned from the ranks, so I do not have finisse and polish inherent in Teribus's British service, but when your urge to commit stupidity in public, overwhelms your innate sense of self-imposed ignorance, put a sock in it.

And Arne, I'm sorry you are wrong, Clintons lawyer, David Kendall, cited the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act in their brief to the Supreme Court, when they were urging it to set aside the Paula Jones lawsuit, until the end of his Presidency, or as they put it, his "Tour of Duty" (in the White House).
