I really don't know how I'm supposed to think and feel about his AWL's??? I was shocked when I first saw this in his records ... but I've been told from several quarters that there were many who went AWL ( didn't get home in time after the party sort of thing) or (transportation failed or didn't jive with times to be back etc) But I see he was sometimes DAYS late ... not a few hours.

Was AWL typical for many? I mean the ... EFFIT, I ain't goin' back as it ain't necessary YET" ??? ... as some have said to me?
