In the movie of Fair Game, there is one sentence: "Be safe and watch your six."
I am just wondering about the meaning of "watch your six"?

Thanks a lot!
Six in this case is six o'clock. If you think of the area around you in
terms of a clock face with you in the middle, the twelve is directly ahead
and six is directly behind you.
Thus "watch your six" is equivalent to "watch your back".
Yep. Normally used by pilots of combat aircraft.
