These are some signs that either you are someone in your family may be too "Hooah". Of course first a definition of "Hooah" Hooah - can be used as an adverb, noun, or adjective meaning: 1) yes, I understand, I agree, whatever, cool, squared away, no shoot, f**k off, or I think your an idiot but I am agreeing with you to shut you up. 2) One who is high-speed, low-drag, squared away, a good troop. (ex.- The Platoon Sgt. said he is a good f**king Hooah.) Signs that you or a family member is too "Hooah": 1) You have a sector sketch and range card posted on all the windows of your house. 2) You give your family an OPORD (operations order) before going to the mall. 3) You have a load plan posted on your refrigerator door 4) Your kids first words were "All OK Jumpmaster" 5) Your wife "takes a knee" when the checkout line at the grocery store is too long 6) When you take your girlfriend to your company picnic you insist that she eats "tactically" 7) Your grandmother owns a Ranger handbook 8) Your wife says "out" instead of "I love you" at the end of a phone conversation. 9) Your kids pull fire-gaurd at night 10) Your mom made you "clear housing" and turn in your meal card when you moved away to college. 11) You and your buddies can carry on a conversation using only acronyms. 12) Your girl holds an AAR debrief (After Action Review) after sex 13) Your kids knew how to field strip an M-4 before they could ride a bicycle 14) You give directions using 10-digit MGRS grid coordinates 15) Your older kids call their baby brother "cherry"
