Date Eligible for Return from Overseas

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a weird one, as it is about two terms. DEROS seems to exist but this is not a dictionary and it does not appear to be notable. '365...' seems marginally more so, but still doesn't seem to cross the notability threshold - term is used as title for non-notable book and non-notable blog.

 * Delete This is essentially a dictionary definition/glossary of US military terminology. The article could be redirected to Tour of duty which covers the same thing somewhat more broadly. Nick-D (talk) 22:39, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with redirect.  Also, I was always under the impression that the "E" stood for "estimated" since return travel dates usually occurred earlier than the end of overseas tour date.  See Date Estimated Return From Overseas (DEROS) for a Department of Defense site that seems to agree.  --Lineagegeek (talk) 21:54, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Glossary term. Redirecting to Tour of duty sounds like a good idea. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:55, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
