army

Think of "carrying your rifle over your shoulder."  The right and left "A" hands are held near the chest-(right hand) and left side of the abdomen-(left hand).  The hands are about two inches out from the body at the beginning of the sign.  Then you simultaneously thump both hands on your body.  Use a double motion (in-out-in).

Note: The sign "army" also means "military."
