However I do believe it presents a strong case that he did not receive an honorable discharge: From JohnKerry.com, his separation from Active Duty was on March 1, 1970. http://www.johnkerry.com/about/john_..._timeline.html Now notice the date [Feb 16, 1978] on this document: http://www.johnkerry.com/pdf/jkmilse...om_Reserve.pdf This was right after President Carter granted amnesty to "draft dodgers" (a little background info that doesn't directly affect this case but sets the atmosphere.) Now the phrases "by direction of the President" [Carter] and "board officers convened under authority of reference to examine the official records...", and "Title 10, U.S. Code Section 1162 and 1163". Title 10, U.S. Code Section 1162 and 1163 refers to the grounds for involuntary separation from the service. What was being reviewed, then, was Mr. Kerry's involuntary separation from the service. If his original separation had been an honorable discharge, there would have been no need for a review. The review was likely held to improve Mr. Kerry's status of discharge from a less than honorable discharge to an honorable discharge. You are just wrong. Kerry was released from active duty and transferred to the Navel Reserve (inactive status) in 1970. In 1972 he was transferred to the Standby Reserve (inactive) and in 1978 was honorably discharged from the Naval Reserve. Check it out: http://www.johnkerry.com/pdf/jkmilse...of_Service.pdf Karen |

I still think the "board of officers" thing is weird, because a board review shouldn't be necessary for a routine discharge -- but I don't know what kind of legal b.s. are perhaps always on these forms.
