    The term for the Army is Hooyah and for the Marine Corps it is Oorah. There is no real definition or exact meeting. Sometimes made as a smart a laic remark or motivation you can use this term anywhere and everywhere.
    Example:
    Sgt:Go clean the heads.
    Prvate: OORAH(sarcastic)

    Lieutenat: Go charge that hill.
    Marines: OORAH(motivated)

    SGT: Go home.
    Corporal: OORAH(Confirmed)
