That would explain a lot. I was active duty Air Force, but the last commander I had WAS a total douche. I was also laid up several months because of a bad car accident, and they wouldn’t extend my delimitating date (I think that’s what you call it). Yep, the military definitely looks after it’s own.
The different branches say different things.
For us it was ETS which we referred to offhand as “Escape This S...” among other things.
There’s an official acronym (of course) but you know soldiers, we’ll call it whatever we want and watch brass turn purple as they sperg over it.
