The Infantry I.T. Guy

Reminds me of a very old saying I heard when I was in the Army. "If you can't eat it or screw it, destroy it" :rofl:

 

But that was well before" Hooah", funny colored Berets and MRE's.

Mark, "hooah" has been banned from being said.

Not really. Silly POGs still say it.

People that wear funny colored berets don't say it.

Legs.... Ugh.... Legs..... You just never know with them these days though.

And your absolutely right, where is the MRE spoon slid Into his plate carrier molle. Dudes obviously not legit without it. Edited by 173rdABN

You're Da*n Right that folks who wear colored berets (as you well know the ones that have to be earned) don't say Hooah! 

 

Funny thing is that its the Ranger Regiment guys who started all of that hooah stuff way back in the late 70s.  During my first tour with the 82ABN we would go down to Stewart and it sounded like these Rangers kept asking for "WhooAh" so much that I asked my 1SG who they were asking for (I know Dumbass LT question).  And nobody, NOBODY in the 82ABN would say hooah.

 

We also didn't roll our sleeves up like those guys in 2 BDE (but that is another old soldier story).

 

I think it was the movie Blackhawk Down and the actors over using hooah that began the self-censorship within the 75th...., but I'd have to ask Blaze to confirm that theory.

 

ATW-ABN!  :usa:

Blaise would probably smack someone upside the head if they ever said that in his beloved battalion!
