Amen brother SFC (Join to see)! We few we proud, we over-abused commo pukes!!
First in and last out, the voice of battle!
My first assignment was as the S-6, 1-506 IN. My BC told me that If I don't do my job he can't do his which was to, "Control the violence". I fell in love with that quote.

"Spearhead of Logistics"? I actually had to look that up and was pretty disappointed. I mean, as an 88M, motor transport operator, I can think of some pretty good ones:
"Let's roll." ( It can be a tribute AND a motto, right?)
"Wheelin' and Dealin'
"On the Road Again!"
"Et civitatibus tribuebat explosives!" (Because everything sounds cool in Latin.)
And my personal favorite:
"Haulin' and Ballin'"- ('Cause that's how we roll.)
I drive trucks and stuff. "Are we lost?" and "That POV SOB Cut Us Off" does not a good motto make.
However, "VIGILANTIA AETERNA"...my old motto from 4th AVN...pretty cool :)

I like "Don't confuse your rank with my authority". It reminded me of the medical mantra drummed into my impressionable 18 year old psyche: "When you're scrubbed in, it's YOUR responsibility to speak for the patient on the table! You control who's allowed to remain scrubbed in "at the table" and who must be called out for a change of gown and/or gloves due to contamination. You "Call The Ball" and never, Ever, EVER let somebody's rank (ego) get between you and the patient who is relying on you.
Less a motto, more deeply instilled principles; a credo for a personal 'True North'.

I saw an old air refuel crew poster, "your hole is our goal". I can see how it can correlate with you guys, particularly when dealing with heat casualties

Hehe. Sounds like a pull from USAF Electronic Warfare. "In God We Trust. All others we monitor, jam, or deceive."

As 13D, Artillery Fire Direction I'd have to go with "Right or Wrong, the round is gone." Though that's mostly in jest.

I have a few Asian friends and I always liked the old cold war motto of the Filipino stinger guys "If it's red and it flies, it dies"

Cpl Dennis F. LOL! I can relate! In the 70s and early 80s, while in Germany, we (Redeye and later Stinger) would spend a week at Ramstein and Spangdahlem Air Base, simulating tracking and firing procedures on the Base Aircraft. We got to interact with AB pilots and personnel often and the discussion of AC Recognition would always come up. They were always impressed with our ability to recognize AC at great distances in less then a second. The question always came up, what if you can't recognize the AC. The first answer that always came out was, "if it flies, it dies, shoot em and sort them on the ground!" That was not quite the reassuring asnwer that pilots, squadron and wing cdrs wanted to hear. However, their ground personnel thought it was funnay as hell.

My aviation guarantee, I presume, was .50 AA school that we shared with the then classified Redeye students at 29 palms. They use to fly sleeves from a tow plane for us and end of course said "Well you guys may not be able to hit the sleeve but we're pretty sure you could take down the tow plane."
Another similar tale: Out on my tanks cruising an operation, I received the following radio message " Before you fire on any aircraft, make sure they are not ours, out" My response: "Out? what do you mean, be sure they are not ours? Ours are the only ones that are supposed to BE here" Follow on: "Oh, radar lost a couple MIGs coming over the mountains out of Lao." Not a pleasant day.
Another: Sitting on the beach with a PPB, an army huey use to buzz us every evening just at sunset on the way to Marble Mountain facility. I got a little tired of the down on the deck surprise and anticipated his arrival and tracked him with my cupola mounted .50, he was close enough to see his face. I guess he got the mssg., If I could anticipate him, so could Charles. He made his future runs well off shore.
