    In military terminology, desertion is the abandonment of a duty or post without permission (a pass, liberty or leave) and is done with the intention of not returning. In contrast, Unauthorized Absence (UA) or Absence Without Leave (US: AWOL; Commonwealth: AWL) refers to a temporary absence.

    Desertion versus Absence Without Leave

    In the United States Army, British Armed Forces, Australian Defence Force and Canadian Armed Forces, military personnel will become "AWOL" (/ˈwɒl/; U.S. and Canada: Absence Without Leave) or "AWL" (U.K. and Australia: Absent Without Leave, AWL never AWOL) if absent from their post without a valid pass, liberty or leave. The United States Marine Corps, United States Navy, and United States Coast Guard generally refer to this as "Unauthorized Absence" or (UA). Personnel are dropped from their unit rolls after thirty days and then listed as deserters; however, as a matter of U.S. military law, desertion is not measured by time away from the unit, but rather:

    A.W.O.L. (album)

    A.W.O.L. is the fifth studio album by rapper AZ, released on September 6, 2005. It was recorded after Final Call, which AZ declined to release because his label had pushed its release back two months—according to him, they were also the source of its early leak to the press and the internet. Garnering critical praise with production from highly regarded New York underground acts such as DJ Premier, Buckwild, and DipSet production duo the Heatmakerz, the rapper abandoned his previously money-oriented subject matter, stating that he "wanted it to be all street.A.W.O.L. is the first album AZ released on his own Quiet Money Records imprint. A.W.O.L. 1.5 was released several months later, which included a bonus disc featuring a cappella and instrumental versions to the songs on A.W.O.L..

    A.W.O.L.

    by: Exodus

    Decorated in war
    A.U.S. ambassador
    Caught in selling secrets
    To a foreign conspirator
    Pledged his allegiance to
    The red, white and the blue
    As government secrets turn to revenue
    He shredded documents
    Restricted and confident
    Then he got caught
    The proof was evident
    Traitor to the cause
    He broke our highest laws
    So why is he still greeted
    With the big applause?
    American disgrace
    Patriot gone to waste
    He took a little taste
    And had to have it all
    Betrayed the fatherland
    The flag and all for which it stands
    Desertion was the plan he chose to call
    American disgrace
    Patriot gone to waste
    Greed was his demise when he took the fall
    Betrayed the fatherland
    The flag and all for which it stands
    Traitor to the cause
    A.W.O.L.!
    Now a media star
    The whole thing is so bizarre
    How this turncoat's rich from seminars
    Paying out their ass to see
    A man who sold out to greed
    A Benedict Arnold who made the nation bleed
    New book's a bestseller
    T.V. movie in the cellar
    Unpatriotic asshole
    Should be a prison dweller
    Iron clad alibi
    Nothing but a pack of lies
    Just another felon
