Military 'Catch Phrase' - Best & Worst

I have one better for you at SLC our SGM's favorite word was FLEXICUTE!!!

Love it!

Flexibility is the key to air power.

Semper Gumbi !

Yup, simply a cop out for NOT taking care of our families and not really in line with the Army Chief of Staff's "The Strength of our Soldiers is our Families" statements.

It's better than me saying HOO-RAH in an Army uniform. Besides, it's motivational.

Yes SSG Peake...an Army, not a corporation...but an Army of professionals, yes? Combat arms or not, I agree with SSG Johnson.
And no offense taken from the "soft skill MOS" comment. :)

I liked hooah. It was the leatherman of phrases: many uses. But I can see how it could over-used.

I went to basic training (ROTC) in 1973, then went to university, then started active duty, from 1973 up to 1985 I never heard the word, hooah. All thru my time in, 19th SFG, 82nd airborne, 5th SFG, 1st Psyop, flight school, and the first few months at 6th CBAC, I never heard the H word. Then a major takes over the S-3 training section and he uses the H word all the time. I'm thinking, what the heck is hooah? Why does he keep saying hooah? Where the heck does hooah come from. He must have come back to an aviation assignment after just finishing an infantry tour or something like that. (They use to do that back then. Commissioned (RLOs) aviators had to go back and forth from a branch assignment (say, infantry) to an aviation assignment. (I was in the group of the last of the aviators that has to serve in a combat branch before going to flight school.)
