Not a term used in the USMC during my 'sentence' of 1966-68. We mostly would just say "Eat the apple"...and wait for anybody within earshot to complete the sentence: "and F*%& the Corps!"

Years ago, in Basic Training, one of my drill sergeants told us that the word was actually HUA, and was an abbreviation for heard, understood, acknowledged. Since then, I know of nonbody else who has ever heard this claim. Anyone here?

Montel Williams says this all the time on his show whenever there are military men in his audience. Sometimes I will say it when feeling particularly sorry for myself. It's good for motivating oneself out of inaction and laziness.
