What is awol?

AWOL (Absent Without Leave) is a military term used to describe a soldier who is not at their assigned place of duty without permission from their superior officer. AWOL is considered a serious offense and can lead to disciplinary action or court-martial. Soldiers who are absent without leave for more than thirty days are usually declared as deserters. In civilian contexts, the term AWOL is often used to describe someone who is absent from their job or responsibilities without permission. This could be grounds for termination or legal action.
