Hi there, I found this one in an airsoft site (yeah, that sport that web browser commandos hate).
Some are really curious, give it a try.

Haha, very interesting. These (I think) are some of the actual military signals (note RSV2 for some as well)
SIGNAL
Fist raised by head
MEANS
Hold position
SIGNAL
Index and middle finger together rotated next to head vertically
MEANS
Follow me/rally
SIGNAL
Entire hand with fingers together points at position
MEANS
Advance/go there
SIGNAL
Open hand raised vertically next to head
MEANS
Hold fire
Could be wrong, but I think these are correct.

Hold fire
I think this is one is hold position, then if the fist is closed it means go to cover

Who really cares what the actual meaning is of all these handsignals! Most of the 'alternative' meanings are way more funny.
"I complained about not having any shoes.....untill I met a man who had no feet"

Want to know a secret? While there are common hand signals, a lot of them depend on your unit.

I have such pic Alex, really useful, but I still prefer the humorous one
"This is my stop" is simply brilliant.

I would think that the "He’ll be out in a minute" signal looks more like the "You're a w*a*n*k*e*r" signal!

Sorry for the repost so. I would have no way to guess that being those posts so old and the links broken
