A motivational cry used by the
United States Marine Corps. Sometimes also used as a general response to an order or question. Recon Marines in Korea (1953),
traveling by submarine, often heard the dive klaxon which sounded like "Aarrugah." These Marines began using the word as a motivational tool, but it was too long and slowly became modified into
what it is today. It was popularized during the 80s and 90s.
