To be honest Marine, over the years, I've worked with dozens of Marine Vietnam vet's and I really can't recall ever hearing any of them shout "hooah" in a normal conversation.
I'm sorry for taking the thread off subject everyone, and this is the last I'll speak of the word hooah.
Pat - I did not mean my reply in a bad way, and I edited it to prove it to you. I only meant it as to say I'm not a make believe kinda guy.
Fireamx - As for soldiers and marines shouting hooah/oohrad your right on the money. They are not words that would be randomly shouted out, but both words are used in low tones of verbal expression. Example... "this is great chow...hooah?" notice the small lettering. As for Vietnam I cannot recall ever shouting out the word, nor hearing any other Marine use it... go figure. Later in the Corps yes, as for my time in the 82nd it was a constant.
Back on subject...
hooah lol
