A few weeks ago his wife posted on social media about a stalker. I’m hoping they aren’t related. 

 

How do you even know that? Did they serve you a restraining order?   ?

 

I hope it has nothing to do with anything like that. There be lots of crazy out there!

He might still be at the afterparty for the tv show The Rookie, starring Nathan Fillion. Bob was a guest star. I think he's got an agent looking at good roles for him.

 

Thanks for the reminder on The Rookie.  I got a new DVR in August and forgot about it and didn’t set it up to record.  Glad we have On Demand

You may be technically correct, but I always thought and recognized AWOL as the proper term ... that is, if you want the reader to understand the gist of the post.  Therefore, AWOL would be a better choice.  

Furthermore, the Sci-fi series that started in the late 60's is called Star Track ... not Star Trek.

Wow. Yet more proof that people (not yourself specifically, just the one who made me hit reply) will argue about anything.  I see AWL and I know exactly what is meant.  I see AWOL and I'm thinking "that doesn't sound like the Bob Woods I know."  T'was the proper usage.

Even if he has permission to be absent?

 

There is no "permission to be absent", per se.

Certainly if you have a formation/meeting/etc. your supervisor can approve your not being there - but that's for a part of the day.

If it is a whole day or more, you'd need a pass or leave form. Even if retroactively.

---Note this is based on Army regulations, specifically AR 630-10. The Manual for Courts Martial (MCM) and other components may differ slightly, but not significantly.

Even when traveling between job locations (Permanent Change of Station) you are on a leave status signed by your commander.

 

It sounds rough, but it actually protects the military member in case of an incident. They're covered under military medical and/or insurance because they're on authorized duty - even while on leave or on a pass.

 

Anything other than a short term (i.e. few hours vocal) or officially on leave or pass signed by their commander, and they are AWOL.

AWOL greater than 30 days can be classified as desertion, and have significantly different consequences if during peace vs. war.

 

Not to argue semantics, but as stated earlier there is no "AWL" (Absent With Leave) in the military. Also as stated - that's leave. Your duty status is "Leave" of some sort.
