No, someone AWOL (Absent WithOut Leave) from the military services is on the run, with the prospect of being detained by the Military Police at any moment. It would be an existence more so than a life, fearing every knock at the door.
There was once a case of an AWOL soldier in the UK who returned home but managed to evade capture on several occasions by hiding inside the hollow shell of a washing machine. Several visits by Military Police failed to find the fugitive.
I can't quite recall how he was captured in the end, it was either they finally turned up with a sniffer dog or they pressed one of the buttons on the washing machine and wondered why it wasn't working.
A neighbour of a grand aunt, now both long dead, was rumoured to be a deserter as he only seemed to appear outdoors after dark. However, there could be other explanations.
