Having actually done the military service I can't remember a single time when our sergeant or any other officer for that matter called us "Men!" or "Soldiers". Attentions is had by either _Givakt!_ 'Attention!' or _Uppställning!_ 'Line up!' Other common commands were _Marsch!_ /r:S/, _Manöver!_ 'At ease' and _Halt!_. But no _Mannar_ or anything like that, AFAICR. Daniel Andreasson
