    R - Rythmn

    S - Speed

    V - ?

    any help gratefully received.

    Is he shoving you or what?
    Rythm (strokes in and out evenly)
    Speed (got to get it done quickly in case the adj walks in)
    Volume (keep it down and don't squeal like a stuck pig)
    Pitch (angle of entry)

    I'd crawl over fifteen miles of redhot broken glass to smell the exhaust fumes of the laundry van that took her knickers away.

    Re: RSVP Help!

    Seeing as this question was also posted on the Signals board...

    How about a quiz ?

    LOPEP B ? ( I know what it's for, and I can't remember all of it )

    BAPTISEME LPC? ( same as above )

    CMADE ?

    FBID = FIIK

    FCO = Fire Control Order

    CLAP = Clear Loud As an order Precise

    GRIT = Group Range Indication Type of fire
