I have read and been told that the Marine "OOOHRAHH" not hoorah was developred by Recon Marines in the '60s who had been trained and deployed as raiders from submarines. They developed the "OOHRAH" as a mimic of the sub klaxon for diving which soinds like "AAAOOORAAH" It became their warcry and filtered through the Corps. In much the same way as Evans Carlson's "Gung Ho" came to mean something very different from the meaning put on it by the First raider Btln.

Anyway to all Marines out there. Happy Birthday and Semper Fi!!"

Well, the number of Marines on Subs is MINUTE!!!!

But Yeah, there are a lot of myths about the "oohrah" thing. Personaly, I like the idea that they barked back at their enemies in Bellieu Wood, when called devildogs. I think that one tradition deserves another to support it. :)
