Tactical Hand Sign Communications

[NightTrain]

Ever watch a movie of a SEAL unit about ready to bust into the bad guy's room and kick some ass and wonder what those hand signals to each other meant?

Well, wonder no more! :thumb:

Since we are going to have a female Green Beret, might as well get some more female-appropriate hand signals in case we get a female SEAL too.

(The following is for humor purposes only, and are not microaggressions. As I’ve said elsewhere, I’m good with anyone truly qualified getting the chance to serve. Please don’t anyone get triggered!).

We may need Hand Signals for:
1. I need a hug
2. Does this combat gear make my butt look fat?
3. I can’t go in that bunker- my lipstick wore off
4. “Stop man-splaining the plan of attack to me”
5. “You hurt my feelings”
6. “Damn, I broke a nail”

I thought this was going to be a legit thread. We DO have to learn those hand signals in boot camp. Just not those particular meanings :)

Are you kidding?! Everyone knows the female will just have to give "the look" and the male enemy combatants will turn and run. No man wants to be the recipient of the stinkeye. Especially a female Seal.

The “look“, coupled with the terse response “I’m fine” to the question, “Is anything wrong?”

It IS a legit thread. I've used five of those signals just this afternoon. :cool:

I think my favorite is holding up the OK sign - "I'm hit!"(Indicates size of hole)

That or "Stay in front of me where it's safe."
