What is a Marine Corps affirmative response?
"Oorah" is the cry used by modern day Marines, but "Aye, Aye Sir" remains an accepted term.
Why do the marines say aye sir instead of yes sir?
They say both yes sir and aye sir. Since they come from sailors, they say aye. Aye is not the same as yes; aye is an affirmative answer
Why do they say 'Aye' in the Navy?
The term "Aye" or "Aye-Aye" is the Naval term for "Yes", "Okay", "Affirmative", etc. It is a positive response / acknowledgment to a question or command, or an indication of understanding. For example, an officer might issue a command, "Take up the slack on Line 1". The response would be "Aye, Sir", or "Aye, Lt.", or Aye and the person's rank and name. Another example would be an order to a helmsman to increase speed to flank; the reply would be "Ahead flank, Aye" to acknowledge the order. Even 17 years after I left the Navy, I still use the term daily in general conversation, since it's used quite often in the daily life of any sailor.
