Gurl

A Naval officer with the 1100 code in the General UnRestricted Line (GURL), doesn't have a warfare specialty, doesn't serve at sea and consequently attracts personnel who would otherwise have made a career in the postal service.

My JAG lawyer thought it was important to get a GURL on the courts-martial board so that I could get acquitted.
