I have seen in the manuals like Gilhams and Hardees, a descrïption of the position of the soldier.
And these manuals then show you the proper way to handle the weapon you are issued.

Is there a manual that shows an officer the proper way to wear the equipment they are issued.  I attended the officer's school 2 years ago at OBV, and there was a discussion on the proper way to wear your saber/sword.  I didn't catch where they referenced it from.  

Anyone have a link to a manual on this?

I think it's in the Army Regs, like "reverse arms," not in any manual. Check there.
