				| Does anyone happen to know if Lt(jg) Kerry's service record has the letters PI stamped anywhere on it.
 If there are any admin/personnel types in this forum you may
 recall it used to mean "Political Influence" and most were handled
 with "kid gloves" per orders passed from the folks in DC

				| I worked with service records for over 30 years , some of that time as a personnel officer, and I never saw nor do I believe PI was ever used.  LDO LCDR USN RET. |  |

				| Some time ago I was Division Officer for X Division on a smaller ship.  One of the enlisted men was a son of a US Senator (college drop out).  There was no special designation on his personnel file, disbursing record or health record. _________________

				| I enlisted Feb 1962 in USN, honerable discharge in 1969.  I discovered in 1968 that my jacket was stamped in big red "PI".   It was over a silly inquiry my US Senator made about me.  It actually embarrassed me to discover it. The incident happened in 1963 when I was a Seaman. It stayed there until I went out as ET1.  Jack. _________________
