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?
