Usually AWOL is an irresponsible person who got drunk and forgot to report. MIA is someone who didn't return from a patrol or mission. I knew a family who's dad was MIA from 1962 until a few years ago when his dog tags and some other articles were discovered in a Vietnam hillside where his plane crashed. He didn't get drunk and forget to report for duty.
