CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — A Marine sergeant major has parlayed his vast experience of calling junior troops "yoo-hoos" into a role as an official spokesman for Yoo-Hoo, a popular chocolate beverage company.
Sgt. Maj. Harry J. Larrington, 43, of 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, is retiring after 24 years and is set to run communications for the Texas-based company next month. Though he planned to take some time off in retirement, he was offered the job outside the base post exchange earlier today.
"I spotted a group of war pigs in formation outside the PX," Larrington told reporters. "And none of them, not a single one of those devil dogs had a friggin' damned canteen on their bodies."
