What are the mottos of your old and current units? What was your favorite?

I once received a salute and the NCO yelled "Stab them in the face, Sir!"

CPT Brian Maurelli, I am not a Marine.!

"Semper Fi" has to be the greatest and most recognized motto in our Armed Forces.

43rd MP Bde - "Protect the Right"
118th MP Bn - "Facta Probant" (Deeds Prove Us)
1/506 IN Bn - "Currahee"

A while ago one of our Bde Commanders wanted a more Latin motto for us and our current IG who had a background in languages came up with "Primus Praecedere" (something to that affect) which translated to "First to Proceed" It got a lukewarm reception and soldiers being soldiers we walked around saluting with "Pasta Primavera" it shortly died out.
