George W. Bush served in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War era, specifically from 1968 to 1973. His service included a total of approximately 5 years in the National Guard, but he did not serve more than 180 days on active duty during that time. Most of his service was in a reserve capacity, which typically involves less than full-time commitment.
George Washington nominated fourteen justices and appointed eleven, but he had an edge over the other Presidents because he was in office when the Court was created and got to nominate the first seven justices (one declined after being confirmed) in the same year.
