Why do soldiers have to be tapped out?
Why do soldiers have to be tapped out? “TAPPING OUT” is how Airmen/Guardians are released in an orderly fashion from formation. It can be an emotional experience but remember, the AF just looks at it as just an orderly way to disburse so there is not total chaos.
When should you tap out?
There are several reasons why you might want to tap out:
- You're injured and can't continue the match.
- You don't want to injure your opponent any further.
- You're exhausted and can't continue the match.
- You've been submitted and there's no way to escape.
How many times do you have to tap to tap out?
To perform a tap-out, you tap your co-player's arm or another convenient part of their body twice, and repeat this action as many times and as hard as you need to get their attention. (Typically, once and quite softly is enough).
