"Correct term in Vietnam for listen in" Topic

In a vietnam game what would a squad or platoon leader say to get the attention of the chaps. Heads up, look at me, listen in or what??

Thanks

"Listen up" ???

Listen up, you (fill in blank with appropriate expletives)

I love the expression 'Listen In'.

Surprising how well it works, was really useful to get people to pay attention during half-time in footy matches!

The Americans I knew used Listen Up but that was in the 80's.

Listen up is pretty standard American English. I've never heard of "listen in". "Heads up" is the dispersal of information as in "let me give you the head's up on that".

"On me"

I used "listen up" or "heads up."

depends on the situation. in garrison or a noisy place like a helipad, the listen up is correct. in a field environment a combination of hand signals would work.

During the Cold War, a "listen up" or "first squad, listen up" or "first squad" were appropriate. I doubt if things changed from Vietnam to the early 80s. It would be pretty unusual for a platoon to be so concentrated that the platoon leader could give a verbal command to the entire platoon.

Thnak you

i will go with "listen up"
