r&r = rest and recreation
used in military jargon to mean time away from the front (inside the green zone in Iraq, for example). Used extensively in the VIetnam War to mean time in Saigon or Honolulu or at Olongapo in the Philippines.
the soldiers and sailors themselves called it i&i, meaning "intoxication and intercourse."

As far as I know, the term means Rest & Recuperation - although I am sure Rest & Relaxation, Rest & Recreation, and co are equally valid.

R and R = rest and relaxation
to get a little r and r = to get a little rest and relaxation

it's military shorthand for rest and relaxation...when a guy had been on a tour of duty he got time off for r and r.
