I agree with you.

I had the privilege of being in the Army from 70-74 and then getting out and doing college and seminary and then coming back in 85.

Hooah was not there in the early 70's and it was there when I came back in the mid-80's.

I was told by some nsdq aviators I was chaplain to that it came out of the Rangers. From there it gradually spread.

Any Rangers out there?

I did know a lot of people in Army like me who do not speak English very well, but we all know what Hooah mean.

Hooah just mean hooah.
Nothing else.
Either you understand or not.

Chaplain,

I first heard it at Airborne School in 85 and at Ft. Lewis in 87 (home of one of the Ranger BN's to follow the theory they started it). My PSG told me then it was Nisqually Indian (a local tribe) for "Bullsh*t".
Have heard it much less in tank/CAV units than Infantry.
