Topic: OLD ARMY 2

Well, I actually figured that one out once I was 1SG and had to deal with payrolls and such. The term casuals was likely derived from AR 310-15(I had to look it up). Before we were assigned to a training company for BCT, we were casuals because we fit into these payroll categories/definitions.

casual detachment (A)
Military unit consisting of officers or soldiers separated from their
own units or awaiting assignment.

casual payment (A)
Payment made to a person temporarily separated from his own
organization and military pay record.
