Bull****! There was no waiting line for officers to get in the NG. Period.
Christ ask anybody.

Don't have to as it's an established fact.

"Competition for the few openings in the National Guard was intense,
and there was a waiting list of 100,000 nationally at the time. Bush
took the Air Force officer and pilot qualification tests on January
17, 1968. He scored 25%, the lowest possible passing grade on the
pilot aptitude portion. On his application form, he listed his
"background qualifications" as "none." But despite the waiting list,
his low score and his lack of qualifications, Bush was given a
highly-coveted spot and was sworn in on May 27 for a six-year
commitment, taking a solemn oath to protect and defend the
U.S. Constitution and the United States of America."
