During my time in the Navy (1985-1999) we called it TAD (Temporary Assigned Duty).
ANYTHING other than a permanent duty station was TAD... schools after boot, schools when you got to your command...
I THINK the folks in Personnel started labelling it TDY in the mid-90's

Military wide. It means temporary duty. Usually means not at the normal duty station, but not on leave.

Its a military term used by all the services. Basically it means temporary duty and can be found in the Joint Federal Tavel Regulations (JFTR).

President Truman coined that phrase, when he created the Air Force., so you guys would have an expression to justify your working vacations.
