So, our friend decided to settle the argument and sent us some information about George.

So, the bottom line is that he may have been in the New York National Guard, but he&#8217;s never been on Federal Service &#8211; he has never deployed, nor has he attended Ranger or Special Forces training, because any of those events would have triggered a record at NPRC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On edit:<\/strong> My mistake, he wasn&#8217;t in the NYNG, he was in the New York Guard, from their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.88ny.net\/88BDE_History.htm\">website<\/a>; <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The present 88th Brigade, New York Guard has its origins in the New York State Militia Law of 1847.  This act completely reorganized the deeply resented and widely evaded enrolled militia which had existed since Dutch times.  While a universal obligation to serve was maintained, mandatory service was abolished and a voluntary militia system was created.  <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So the good major here was doing a Dennis Chevalier conflating his &#8220;military service&#8221; with militia service. That&#8217;s why we got a &#8220;no service&#8221; FOIA &#8211; he has no military service.<\/p>\n<p>Some more pictures.
