Some of the Armyisms I've Learned in 8 Weeks

High Speed = gung-ho, into the whole "Army Thing" (can also say that one is "all Hooah")

To move with a purpose = fast

Double time = faster (also used as an official command to go from marching to running)

Combat speed = even faster (the prior service guys always tell our teachers to do the lecture at combat speed)

Hooah = used as a response to a statement - can mean: O.K., alright, got it, sounds good to me, you bet, etc... Those that have a bad habbit of using this word will also use it at the end of all their sentences in the same way many of us say "you know".

Hooah (hü-ä or who-ah) is a U.S. Army battle cry. It is used^[1] by US Army soldiers "Referring to or meaning anything and everything except no".^[2] The word's etymology is unclear, but one possible origin is that it is based on the acronym HUA, meaning "heard, understood, acknowledged".^[3] Another possible source of the term is as a vernacular corruption of the term "Huzzah" a Battle Cry in use by United States soldiers during the early to middle 19th century and documented by personal and offical memoirs of the American Civil War.

Roger that = got it (we're on it)

Secure your gear = get your stuff

That's a (big) No Go = that's wrong, don't do it

To get smoked = to have a superior punish you (more likely to be physical, like doing tons of push-ups)

To get scuffed up = to have a superior punish you verbally

Squared away = ready to go

The Sand Box = Iraq

There's a slew of acronyms that inevitably get turned into words, in that they are used as nouns, adjectives, and verbs; however, I'll forgo putting those in here to save you a few hours of reading time.

If I think of any more I'll add them.
