StGrimblefig Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Re: Military Hand Signals LOL! This reminds me of an old documentary I watched about carrier operations, and the hand signs that the flight deck crews used. There was one in which you make a fist with one hand, wrap the other hand around the fist and forcibly separate the two. It supposedly meant "Get Your Head Out Of Your A--" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominique Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Re: Military Hand Signals That toon's been circulating around for a couple of years now. As far as actual hand signals go, there are some standardized one that each service teaches, but as long as everyone is on the same sheet of music, you can come up with your own.

Sweeper Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Re: Military Hand Signals Wow, memories. A few years ago, I was playing a D&D 3e game. Three of us at the table were in the military or are vets, so we were familiar with hand-signals. One of the players who was never in took it upon himself to try to use hand-signals to guide as we were sneaking into an Orc Stronghold. For about 2 minutes, he was waving his hands and arms in an attempt to convey what he'd seen. What he'd forgotten was that we all had mass-invisibility cast on the party not to long ago. So the following conversation went something like this: Me: "Um, what are doing? Other Player: I'm signaling that there is large group of Orcs in the next room. Me: Dude? We're invisible. Other player: ....Oh. We had to stop the game for a good five minutes get control of our laughter. The other player was mollified and we gave him a bit of fun grief for awhile.

The Weapon Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Re: Military Hand Signals You can find the actual ones here: http://www.lefande.com/hands.html We should figure out some more for things PCs come up against. Fist held horizontal, two fingers curved, hand goes down like a snake biting something = vampire. One finger pointed makes an X over your eye = cannot be seen by human vision. One finger pointed makes X over and to one side of head = cannot be seen by machines (originally X made over helmet-mounted cameras). Hand up, figures separated and waving = flame weapon. Fist up with pinky finger out = only. First two fingers in V thumb between them = aim (for) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
