JEB BUSH
Jeb Bush was born on February 11, 1953 in Midland, Texas. When he was six years old, the family relocated to the Tanglewoodneighborhood[7] of Houston, Texas.[8] The nickname “Jeb” is composed of his initials J.E.B. (John Ellis Bush).[9]
He grew up with two younger brothers, Neil and Marvin, one younger sister, Dorothy, and one older brother, George, who is seven years older. Jeb Bush initially attended Grady Elementary School in Houston.[10] Following in the footsteps of his father and older brother George, at the age of 14 years in late 1967,[7] Bush began attending high school at theAndover, Massachusetts boarding school Phillips Academy, Andover.[11] Even though he received poor grades at first, he made the honor roll by the end of his senior year and served as captain of the tennis team.[12]
At the age of 17, Bush taught English as a second language and assisted in the building of a school in Ibarrilla, a small village outside of León, Guanajuato, Mexico,[13] as part of Andover’s student exchange summer program.[14] While in Mexico, he met his future wife,Columba Garnica Gallo.[14][15]

But no new draft orders were issued after 1972,[16]because the U.S. changed to an all-volunteer military beginning in 1973.[17]
