119. BFEE influence got Dubya a commission
Strings were pulled to get Dubya commissioned as an officer when he joined the ANG, in addition to moving to the head of the line to join the ANG in the first place, and to get selected as a pilot.

I was drafted into the Army in 1969. No commission, no Champagne unit, no jet airplanes to play with, couldn't quit when I felt like it. That's how it worked when your family had no influence.
