I always loathed (and still do) the word 'Oohrah!'. When I was in the Corps, I thought it was the most dip$#!+ thing to say. None of the old lifers said it.

Now, 'Saddle Up!' is one I recall pretty fondly. I still use that one occasionally and I've been out for ten years already.

"I always loathed ..."

Yeah, if it's pronounced phonetically it does sound abit odd. However, when forced from the back of the throat as a 'grunt', I like the sound. I've been retired five years, and it still jumps out spontaneously at particularly motivating moments.
