It's a term that I picked up while first stationed at Hahn AB, Germany in the late 70s. I was an LT with a Chaparral/Vulcan battery that was responsible for Short-Range Air Defense for the base.
"Check your six" is the AF term for "check your rear", or "watch your a$$."
No doubt, Sen. Van de Putte will have the most difficulty covering her 'six'.
LOL ! Yep ! No doubt, lots of ground for her to watch alright . . .
