Unexcused leave? We used call it being AWOL, 29 days later it is called desertion.

I think the Navy uses the term "unexcused leave" Being in the Army, I prefer AWOL myself. Sounds more serious.

And desertion PLUS sabotage SHOULD be good enough for a quick one-way trip in front of a firing squad.

It's only AWOL/desertion if they forget to carry their Clinton-era "Timeout" cards.
