In regards to your comment supermac88, you are mistaken about the origin of the phrase Hoowah. It IS an Army phrase dating back to the mid 1800's. When an Army General and his men greeted an Indian tribe, the Indian Chief attempted to say, "How are you?" But it came out as, "Hoowah. If the Marines say something similar, then it must come from the Army. Having done tours in the desert and now living in Europe has taught me one thing. America is truely the greatest country in the world and we have much to be proud of. It does us no good to bash each other's services, i.e. "Chair Force"
