HUA: Heard Understood Acknowledge

HOOAH: ?

I didnt think it was supposed to mean anything. I just say what I am told to say.

Now that I know the meaning, I will use HUA because I like to know what I am talking about.

Hooah is meant as a morale cry but HUA is a well used acronym. So in essence there are 2, I've used both in my 9 year career and still use Hooah as an acknowledgement.

I use HOOAH and Air Assault on a daily basis and after 31 years. Civilians LOVE the word and every service has one, just ask them HOOAH!

I was Marine Corps trained, we said Oohrah. No idea what it meant. Thought everything else sounded pretty weak.

In 3/75th, Hoo-ah meant lots of things:
Yes; awesome; roger that; affirmative; hell yeah; understood...
