haha.. Primal does it with gusto too

Congrats to your son, sounds like he's doing REALLY well. I would never choose military life for myself, but I've seen it turn alot of people into good, upstanding individuals. And a few into.. not so nice people. He sounds like he's doing the former. Good on him! Very cool. ^_^

That said, where's that Del Taco sound clip when you need it...

That's the thing that I guess can be considered "Lost in Translation". I've heard it just about everyway you can say it. What it really is, is an acryonym, HUA for Heard, Understood, Acknowledged. I think the branches of service took it from there and developed it into whatever suited them best. However, if any grunt, regardless of branch yells HooRah, or HOOYA, or OOO RAH, it's all about the same to everyone else. In USAF BMT, we all yelled just about every version of it once or twice, but mostly just whatever one we came up with first.

... and I thought the military didn't have nerds.. :grinwink: :laugh:

Laugh it up, douche bags!!!

Not really a nerd, but I do know the Military as I grew up in it. My dad was USAF and my Uncle was a Marine, and a drill instructor at Parris for 6 years before he got out.... So... yeah.
