join the military,youll find out wearing camoflauge, saying HOORAH, or oorah, as the marines put it,isnt as fun.
but its jsut a general term to respond to something.
usually in a positive way,like you got it done..

No real answer for this question but as a serving British Marine, (the first and original) we heard this 'cry' before the war in Iraq at an American commanders speech. Needless to say we struggled to withold our laughter.

Our Marines are often heard saying, 'OOH-RAH', which is a general term for replying to a question or 'sign of unity' in the Corps.
