Being a Master-at-arms (MP) by trade, our motto was 'Don't confuse your rank with my authority' after a very short lived 'double tap' and '2 in the chest, 1 to the head'. Let me hear yours!

I always though meteorology would be a pretty interesting field to get into, but I'm a bit late in the game to get into it now! LOL!

MSG Wade Huffman I had several options that I was applying to before re-enlistment. Linguistics, Air Traffic Control, a Huey Pilot and the AECP (Enlisted to Officer Program) for weather and I chose to remain enlisted. Mistake, nah!

That's funny because as an Army MP I would crush someone for using that motto. We have the authority to uphold the regulations and policies of the Armed Forces and military bearing and courtesy is one of them.
Our motto is "Assist, Protect, Defend. Of the Troops for the Troops."

KC-135 maintainer and the tanker motto is NKAWTG...N which stands for "Nobody Kicks Ass Without Tanker Gas... Nobody!"
Supposedly this originated at Grissom AFB in 1984, but who knows.

My maintenance squadron's motto is "Grab your tools, maintenance rules!"

SSG Eric Armstrong I'm not sure who said it but I'm pretty sure no one would do it face to face with me.

The motto for my rate is "Exceeding the Expected." Sounds great, but I never really got what it had to do with being a religious programs specialist. So I came up with my own: "Bibles & Guns." It was very befitting of the multiple missions for which I provided physical security for my chaplain throughout Anbar Province during our tour in Iraq.

You didn't like 'no weapon against me shall prosper'? Or is it too 'old' ;-)

I know that's from the book of Isaiah. Are you saying it was associated with the RP rate at some point? Would love to know more!

"Nothing. What's a motto with you?" Seriously, the Army Veterinary Corps (and it's respective AOCs) doesn't have a motto. I'm thinking "One shot, one save" might work.

Well as an IT I'd probably have to go with "Is it plugged in?" or "Have you tried restarting it?".

SGT (Join to see) You're a science geek too? It's the whole reason I went Chem, only to find out that the science only comes in to play occasionally.

More math was involved than I would like, as in for calculating downwind hazards...

Haha...I think I'm on the opposite end. I'm Molecular Biology and found that math is only used occasionally. Genetic manipulation requires very little math bwaahaha! (I have dibs on Germany on my end quest of international domination!)

I'm a biologist too, but I'm more about bacterial cultures.

Actually, I am a student of all sciences, I just...had to pick one for a major.

How about my favorite bible verse? (And possibly the only one I know)
...and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning
Zac 9:14

I used to make recurve bows as a hobby...that inscription was my motto.
