Are You Too Hoo-ah?

The Army word "hoo-ah" is much like the word "aloha": many meanings, depending upon usage and inflection. Generally, it means squared-away, hard-charging, well-performing soldier. But how does one know if one is too hoo-ah?

You might be too hoo-ah if:
~You go to a barbecue and insist that your family feed tactically.
~Your children clear housing before they go to college.
~You give the command "Fix Bayonets" at Thanksgiving Dinner.
~You make your daughter sign out on pass on Prom Night.
~Your kindergartner calls recess "smoke break."
~Your wife "takes a knee" in long checkout lines at the Food Lion.
~Your newborn's first words were "all OK Jumpmaster."
~Your daughter's dolls wear starched uniforms.

And then, some might believe that one can never be too hoo-ah.
