It can be hard returning to the regular routine after a long holiday break, but I wouldn't recommend going AWOL just ask Jim. 

Jim, the dog, under

From the Associated Press - "Jim paws pleadingly at a grating fencing him in a Warren Avenue Station cell in Chicago, Ill., June 2, [1945], after his "arrest" when police examination of his dog tags showed he was AWOL from Chanute Army Air Field, [Rantoul] Ill. At left, MP PFC. John Broton smiles sympathetically."
