Thanks I’ll do it. Has anyone read “the lone survivor”? I’m reading it now and I thought the Marine Corp boot camp was tuff but if hell week is anything like this guy is telling, it’s something. Gotta admit I wish I were a young man and could find out. I recommend getting and reading this book.

Cliff, Go to Government and Politics Menu to Veteran Veritas. Brewer gave one answer to your question.

I don’t read this everyday but I look forward to your explanation. I’m currently reading “Lone Survivor” and according to the writer the Navy Seals say “Hooyaa” so I look forward to hearing your explaination.

The Oorah thing is a bit convoluted. With your permission I will return tomorrow with more detail and some historical narrative. There is even some Native American lore wrapped into the legend and a bit of rivalry too…. as the Army says oooah, and we would of course not be imitating anyone! But this Marine is rackin’ out early for tomorrows parade. I will be back Cliff, with a more explanatory stuff.

Semper Fi to all the Marines past present and future. I too am always amazed at the respect the Marine Corps recieves. I do have a question. I was in Vietnam in 1966 and inlisted in the corp in 65. When did the Marine Corp start saying oorah? they didn’t from 65 to 69.
