Marine Corp Tradition?

I was greeted by a man in the Marine Corp today. He growled while shaking my hand. Why?

He was probably saying oohrah. My dad says it like that (sounds like he's growling) lol.

haha he was probably saying ooh-rah....they way marines say it doesn't really sound like it is spelled lol...it sounds more like a growl or grunt

Did he give you a ERR sound? thats the way some of us say hello..Its just a friendly grunt,not a growl..Next time grunt back and see what happens..

Lava Dog is correct, Its just a grunt between men. It sound like ERRR it's not Oh Rah, We do it a lot when we are getting a motivational speech or just when we are motivated.
