I learned something new today.

[Paul B]

after getting an email from someone and seeing a phrase in latin I googled the meaning, so here ya go, the Coast Guard mantra:

Semper Paratus (Latin for "Always prepared") is the official slogan of the United States Coast Guard. A march by that name is also the official march of the Coast Guard.

Carpi Diem!

 

[Frans]

Carpe Diem-- seize the day

Carpe Jugulum -- seize their throat!

 

[Tom_Scheller]

Veni, Vidi, Gauisus Sum.

I came, I saw, I partied.

Wow, Latin class was a long time ago.

[Blinky]

juglito ergo sum

I juggle, therefore, I am.

Stolen without apology from the Flying Karamozov Brothers.

 

[Frans]

I like mine the best

 

[IchWarriorMkII]

Vivere Paratus - Live prepared

 

[NickfromWI]

Semper fidelis (aka Semper Fi)

Always faithful.

[Al Smith]

As I understand it,"Fortitudine" was the original slogan of the Corps,always vigalant or something like that.

This one was on one of the u-boats I served on."power to repel the darkness".Trust me,that was an understatement.

 

[Tom_Scheller]

Al, you served on u-boats?! I must have missed that fact about you. Das Boot is my favorite movie ever. I've got a whole new level of awenessness for you.

[SkwerI]

Aw geez, Tom. Now you've done it. Do you have any idea just how difficult ol' Al is gonna be after he reads your post and gets all full of himself?
