If he's just gone a few days and comes back on his own, (assuming he was not in a combat zone), it is called Absent Without Leave (AWOL) and he will probably just get a few weeks of extra duty, reduction in rank, or a fine. If he is missing for over a month or does something to indicate he does not intend to return, it is called desertion and he will probably do some time, perhaps several years, in a military prison. Desertion in combat can result in a death sentence. This punishment was used only once by the US Armed Forces during World War 2 and has not been used since.

How can you press charges on someone who entered your home illegally while you were away?

Not if they had a key or other means to get into the house without "breaking and entering". Contact the police and report the unauthorized entry. You cannot file charges on someone for this, the police need to. If the circumstances don't warrant filing charges, they'll explain why.
