Title: Military Wide Praise Word?
Post by: Hawklore on December 06, 2006, 06:54:12 PM
The navy has,

Bravo-Zulu

Marines have,
oo-Rah

etc...

Whats a universal praise word/saying.

That can be abbreviated into 5 letters?

Example.

Huzah

Oorah

etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

SNAFU  = Situation Normal All ***'d Up.
FUBAR  = ***'d Up Beyond All Repair.
REMF   = Rear Echlon Mo Fo.
HMFIC = Head Mo Fo In Charge.
AB,CM  = Aided Binos, Continuing Mission.

There's bunch of other crap... Google is your friend.

I hear a solid pat on the rear has become more vogue.  Especially in the Navy.

BTW when i was in the Marines no one said "oo-rah", have no idea where that came from, maybe they got it from a TV show.

Then I figure if I'm a PSG and the 1SG isn't biyatchin at me I wasn't doing my damn job right...  

From TOP it was always a "Term of Endearment"  like "Bastage"...

But he'd be the first to buy the round in the NCO Club.

Most common word for a good job that I heard in the Army was "outstanding".

It was real prevalent from 96 to 01 when I was in.

The USAF say hooa like the army does.

Hooa is a service wide answer for anything.

Another one I hear quite often is "kudos"

I was in US Army from 1983 - 1987 and our word was "Hardcore!"

If a group was expressing praise it was usually "HOO-RAH!"
