The Army uses "Hooah" as an affirmation ("Hooah Sergeant!"), a spirit-booster ("HOOAH!"), an understanding ("Hooah!") , a compliment ("You're pretty hooah!"). it's somewhat lame, but also damned near unavoidable. It's used OFTEN.

The Marines say "Oo-Rah!" instead, often having the same meaning, but at least sounding almost fierce.

This is another on-going point of ribbing between the two services.
