What is what does awol mean?

AWOL stands for "Absent Without Leave." It is a military term that refers to a service member who has not reported for duty, training, or any other scheduled or expected activity. AWOL is a serious offense in the military and can result in disciplinary action, including a court-martial, a reduction in rank, loss of pay, and even jail time. The term may also be used outside of the military context to refer to anyone who is absent from their job or other obligations without permission or explanation.
