This from Stars & Stripes:
Soldiers yell “hooah.” Marines grunt “oorah” and sailors shout out “hooyah.” And airmen?

What should the spirited common cry of airmen be?

Please, be original and explain why the Air Force should adopt your suggestion. Send your ideas along with your name, rank and job title to reporter Scott Fontaine at [email protected].
Any ideas?  Any ideas how the energy going into this could be used elsewhere?
 
I would suggest "SCREEEEEEE"

Like a swooping Eagle. They could even do Talon shapes with their hands.

Honestly- if it doesnt happen naturally it probably shouldnt happen.

I like "Yes Sir/Sgt/ Ma'am" etc.
 
There's probably something to be said for just remaining modest and status quo I would think.
 
In keeping with the trend of one word cries;  WAITER
 
Keeping with their nonplussed demeanor, I would suggest a simple 'Aaack'
as in:

 
Would you still be willing to consider "FORE!" followed through with a swinging motion at an imaginary golf ball - it could even replace the salute.
