Tabbing is a walk and double with a bergen, usually wearing boots and military kit, sometimes carrying a rifle.

Though i'm sure you knew that.

A loaded march is a rapid march over distance carrying weight. The ability to complete loaded marches is a core military skill. A loaded march is known as a "Tab" in the British Army.

In the British Army loaded marching is considered a core skill and is tested annually in an eight mile Combat Fitness Test carrying 15-25kg depending on the arm. The term tab has its roots in an acronym, being an abbreviation of Tactical Advance to Battle

Sarcasm is all very well, but Fallsch has a point.
Google "tabbing" and the answer is 5 results down under a subheading of "tabbing army". Now I wonder what that could be?????


FYI

TAB= Tactical Advance to Battle as used by the Paras.
For the Cabbage-heads it is called Yomping.

No - before the Friday lunchtime sessions, when Intl Army drinking night was prep for the Friday TAB.

First man sober is a poof!

Then pardon me for asking, but why did you think that you had the relevant experience to advise someone in the first place? If you don't know the answer then keep schtumm, the internet is full of badly written rubbish, as you have just found out.




And I am being very very polite this time.

I was going to query that with "last man" - but I get it now

Serves you right for drinking with the Frogs and Ities etc

Tabbing was so much easier when i was too numb to feel the pain. Alas, the ability to bounce back has left me.....

 

[nel88]

After looking on thepara british army website the wikipedia answer and theirs is virtually identical, so for own personal information could you tell me what the military definition of this is please?

As a Crow I was informed a Tab was Tactical avoidence of Bullets, IE carry heavy weights on your back at a rapid rate of knots. I saw earlier posts of 15-25 kilos, Down south most blokes carried their own bodyweights and some even more. a CFT is nothing Tabs only hurt after 16k,s or more then fight a battle. Thats real Tabbing
