im playing the old version 23a and after a good few hours of messing with the military screen figured out how to group and arm my dorfs but when i go to the squads screen i only see the station option, how do you issue attack orders?   
PS: Could anyone tell me what the writing above your username means eg; bay watcher; escaped lunatic?

I'd advise stationing your squad near the enemies.
Escaped lunatics are newer than bay watchers, i.e. have made fewer posts.

There are no attack orders in 23a, only station and patrol orders.

Correct - the current military interface was introduced in version 0.31.01.

[edit]

If you're going to play version 0.23.130.23a, you should probably first familiarize yourself with version 0.28.181.40d - no squad orders, no military uniforms, no health care, only 3 attributes (Strength, Agility, Toughness), no skill rust, no burrows (just "outside" and "inside"), no caverns (just underground rivers/pools, chasms/pits, magma pools/pipes, and HFS), and no forgotten beasts or titans (aside from the "Titan" megabeast, which is just a slightly stronger version of the Giant/Cyclops/Ettin).

The differences between 0.31+ and 0.23.130.23a are massive, but taking a brief stop at 40d will make the final step to 23a somewhat less overwhelming. If you haven't yet read the History of Dwarf Fortress article on the wiki, do so as soon as possible.
