Hoo-Ah Update

From a reader who signs himself “Son of a Corpsman”: “This has got to be

some mistake. The reader wrote to you said ‘Marines say OOH-RAH or URRAH;

army dog-faces say HOO-AH. NEVER FORGET THAT. Former Marines notice that

stuff!’ But there is no such creature as a ‘former Marine.’ Once a Marine,

always a Marine.”
