Yomping ITYF - unless you have a different idea of soldiers activities?

Err... err... err... no comment!

I'm not quite sure how I managed to get so discombobulated there. I'm
more of a tabbing man I guess - I'm less au fait with the strange
phraseology of these amphibious warriors.

And I shall correct myself before anyone else does - soldiers don't
yomp, marines do.

That was a movie, wasn't it - Red Coats Can't Yomp?

Soldiers apparently 'tab'; the advance from San Carlos Water to Port
Stanley was made by a joint force of Royal Marines and Paras, and thus was
both a yomp and a tab. According to the ever-reliable wikipedia.
