Marine sergeant major takes over as spokesman for Yoo-hoo chocolate drink
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.
Sources confirmed that Larrington then approached the platoon and began screaming.
“I yelled ‘hey there yoo-hoos! Where in the fuck are we headed without our water sources?'” Larrington asked. “Who’s in charge of this abortion of a formation?’ I was about to make them dress-right-dress when some nasty civilian walked up.”
That ‘nasty civilian’ turned out to be a recruiter with Yoo-hoo, who ended up hiring him on the spot.
