No, they don't shout "muah".

"Hooah", on the other hand, is used not only by the Rangers, but pretty much Army-wide. It can mean almost anything without ever revealing exactly what it means - however, it can never mean "no".

Why are you supposed to walk past someone on the right not the left?

You aren't. There's no reason to specifically walk on either side of someone, especially where there are a lot of people moving in both directions - you simply find a gap and go through it.

It may be advisable to stay on one side of the path to avoid collisions; which side it is will depend generally on which side the traffic normally uses in your area. It also kinda matters because if a predator is walking toward you are driving toward you you would be able to see them and divert it.

What are the advantages disadvantages and applications of a clap switch?

The major advantage of a clap switch is that you can turn something (e.g. a lamp) on and off from any location in the room (e.g. while lying in bed) simply by clapping your hands. The major disadvantage is that it's generally cumbersome to have to clap one's hands to turn something on or off and it's generally seen as simpler for most use cases to use a traditional light switch. The primary application involves an elderly or mobility-impaired person. A clap switch is generally used for a light, television, radio, or similar electronic device that the person will want to turn on/off from bed.

Why will a diver become less buoyant as he swims deeper?

The question is based on an incorrect assumption. The correct question is "Will a person become less buoyant as he swims deeper? Why or why not?" The answer is "it depends." If the person is freediving - yes. His lungs will compress and his volume will decrease while his weight remains constant. If the person is on SCUBA and assuming no exposure suit and correct weighting, no. On SCUBA, a person's lungs will not compress. His volume will remain the same. As he uses air, the weight of his system will decrease and he and his SCUBA unit will become more (not less) buoyant. If the person on SCUBA is wearing an exposure suit and/or is overweighted (requiring air in the BC), the suit and/or BC will compress and make the person less buoyant. Andy's answer is correct within the limits of the situation he describes. Because ambient pressure will increase with depth, decreasing the volume (and thus your bouyancy) of any air pockets present, whether in your BC or your wet suit Assuming the same volume of air in your BC at 50 feet and at the surface, at 50 feet that air will be compressed into a smaller volume, thus your bouyancy will be less than at the surface. If you ascend from 50 feet, that air will start to expand, increasing your bouyancy (and thus possibly leading to a runaway ascent) If you descend from 50 feet, that air will start to compress, decreasing your bouyancy (and thus possibly leading to a runaway descent) Buoyant force is the upward force on an object. I allows objects to float.

What is the meaning of based off?

It seems that suddenly in the past few years everyone under a certain age is using the phrase "based off". I can only guess that some character on a popular TV show used this phrase a lot. There is actually NO such word-phrase in the English language. "Based off" is, in fact, meaningless. Something can NOT be "based" and "off" at the same time.

I believe the meaning you kids are attempting to get across is actually the meaning conveyed by the accepted English word-phrase, "based on", meaning "started from or founded on."

Are soldiers from the Vietnam ranger companies authorized to wear the ranger tab?

In fact, those who do not may be considered out of uniform.
