Army no-show: Abbr (4)

I believe the answer is:

awol

(Other definitions for awol that I've seen before include "Absent without permission, in short" , "Missing without permission" , "Of soldier, illegally absent - initially" , "Truant (or just missing)" , "Absent without leave (abbrev.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
