"Reporting by the Washington Post's Michael Dobbs points out that although the Kerry campaign insists that it has released Kerry's full military records, the Post was only able to get six pages of records under its Freedom of Information Act request out of the "at least a hundred pages" a Naval Personnel Office spokesman called the "full file."

What could that more than 100 pages contain? Questions have been raised about President Bush's drill attendance in the reserves, but Bush received his honorable discharge on schedule. Kerry, who should have been discharged from the Navy about the same time -- July 1, 1972 -- wasn't given the discharge he has on his campaign Web site until July 13, 1978. What delayed the discharge for six years? This raises serious questions about Kerry's performance while in the reserves that are far more potentially damaging than those raised against Bush."

i'm a civilian, so bear with me, but as I understand it, back then if you missed so many drills in a row during 'active reserve status' (god that sounds weird?) then you automatically got thrown on IRR and sat there as kinda like 'shitlist' secondary draft pool for a while?

there are errors there, but i think because he went IRR, either voluntarily or through missing duty, he had longer before he could be discharged.
