apparently, he didn't.

Why did the Bush campaign refuse to release his military records, as Senator
John McCain and Vice President Gore both did during the 2000 campaign?
Computer records show last physical as May 1971. Which also shows him as CR
MEM ON FS (crew member on flight service) not PILOT.

During his fifth year as a guardsman, Bush's records show no sign he
appeared for duty.

May 24, 1972: Bush, who has moved to Alabama to work on a US Senate race,
gets permission to serve with a reserve unit in Alabama. But headquarters
decided Bush must serve with a more active unit.

Sept. 5, 1972: Bush is granted permission to do his Guard duty at the 187th
Tactical Recon Group in Montgomery. But Bush's record shows no evidence he
did the duty, and the unit commander says he never showed up.

November 1972 to April 30, 1973: Bush returns to Houston, but apparently not
to his Air Force unit.

May 2, 1973: The two lieutenant colonels in charge of Bush's unit in Houston
cannot rate him for the prior 12 months, saying he has not been at the unit
in that period.

May to July 1973: Bush, after special orders are issued for him to report
for duty, logs 36 days of duty.

July 30, 1973: His last day in uniform, according to his records.
