Unexcused leave? We used call it being AWOL, 29 days later it is called desertion.
And in the 60's (USMC) is was "he's gone over the hill....."'UA'" (Unauthorized Absence)

You'll appreciate this - we used to call it "French Leave."

I was just gonna say that. "Unexcused Leave", is that like "Undocumented Worker"? I was reading a book on the "Old Army" a few weeks ago and found out that if you went AWOL they wouldn't even bother looking for you. After a few months they dropped you from the rolls figuring that if you didn't care enough to return they didn't want you. A TRUE volunteer army.
