When the guy says that he is going (back) in he means that he is on military service; he was on leave for some days and he will be going back. Military service in Greece is compulsory for men, who get drafted in the age of 18-19 or older if studying in universities and other institutions that can get you this priviledge, or for other reasons, e.g. for health reasons (of course serious health reasons get you excused from army service). I think that the most time you can be out of the army is for doctors who are doing residency etc. that can be out of the army until they are 32, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, if for some reason you haven't yet done your time when you turn 50, you don't have to go any more. There is a percentage of Greek people that go abroad to study etc. and don't come back (for more that a certain amount of days a year) to avoid military service. The service lasts 12 months at the time being. From August and on, it will last 9 months. Alternative service is also available, but typically it lasts more. "117 more" means the guy's got 117 days left.
