Of all the military's TWAs (three word acronyms) TDY has always been a mystery. Four years with the Air Force and no one was able to explain it.
T - temporary
D- Duty
Y - ???
The two best explanations give to me were
Temporary
Duty
Yonder (with tongue in cheek) and that they had to use the
Y from "duty" to have a third letter to make up the TWA.
Any other explanations?
