Some terminology differs among the services. When I was in the AF, AIT was for Advanced Individualized Training, which I already detailed earlier.
Vietnam era? How old do you think I am? I wasn't even in grade school back then. 🙂
One key thing not clearly defined in any IRS pub I can find, is any firm time limit of what constitutes a "temporary" absence. But it does say in IRS Pub 17 that "military service" can be considered a temporary absence. So I guess I was "temporarily absent" from my parent's house for the first 6 of my 20 years, at which point I got married. 🙂
