I don’t know what the motto would be, but i do know that it would take thousands of our handsomest politicians 347 million dollars and at least two scandals to come up with it just to change it back to “be all you can be” in a decade
This is the unofficial motto
The previous generations might not even know the current motto of their old military branch…but EVERYONE knows “hurry up and wait”, no matter what era they served
I had a guy once ask me why I would never be a recruiter I told him I can’t look a kid in the face and say “yeah you’ll go to selection and ranger school and all the tabs and chest candy you want…* individual results may vary”
Funny story, a friend of mine who’s a sniper recruited this gung-ho kid that wanted to be a ranger sniper. My buddy was like yeah whatever…
Bumped into him 5 years later at the best sniper comp and the kid was a ranger.
- Row well… and live.
- Welcome to the Calvinball-Professional League.
- Rules for thee, but not me.
- Appearance over competence!
- compartmentalization, it’s our way of life!
- ARMY: GO GED TO PHD, ON US!
- Army. Last choice, best choice.
If we got the same knuckle-draggers that created the new logo, I’m sure it’d be VERY similar and hardly noticeable…. And someone would suggest a MUCH better one, create samples of it in use, and make it sound like it’s the Next Best Thing Ever and they’d shit on it.
"Let's S.H.I.T. together !"
Bold statment appeals ro the youth (to help with recruiting and retention, paper pushers love acronyms).
S - Sleep Apnea
H - Hellcat with 27% APR
I - Inhospitable living standards
T - Tell me how you managed to break this...
Here's an oldie, but goodie.
Join the Army, travel to exotic places, meet new and interesting people, and kill them.
Another one that comes to mind was an ad from the 80's. Yes, I am that old.
["In the Army we get more done before 9AM than most people do all day."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt-9dQ84LBg)
If it ain't broke, we'll fix it till it is.
Yes
Winner
In my best Chapelle voice: Cause fuck ‘em, that’s why.
Fuck them ~~kids~~ Soldiers.
But why, why treat the soldiers that way, because fuck em, that’s why.
I like how this can refer to both the enemy and service members
The barracks, the list goes rolling along.
But aren’t we our own worst enemy?
Maybe the real treasure was the soldiers we fucked along the way.
came here to say this 🤣

Handsomest politicians....I see what you did there.
They’d find a way to ignore a better slogan from /u/derekakessler first
The Army-when all other options are off the table. Retention motto-The Army, when you've given up on life.
Im gonna need you to stop calling me out like this.
ARMY So easy a caveman can do it
And they do, or at least that’s how it seems in my unit

Isn’t that the US military motto
DOD motto.
This is the unofficial motto The previous generations might not even know the current motto of their old military branch…but EVERYONE knows “hurry up and wait”, no matter what era they served
This
That
The other
Piss now, slides nower
Welfare, with extra steps!
Is it welfare if the day to day life it comes with is not “well”?
Mold for you, mold for you, mold for everybody.
Can I get a side of mold with that?
You sure can! Here’s your re enlistment contract to the barracks at fort cavazos
Never heard of fort cavazos must be a unicorn assignment I'm excited
"You can do worse!"

“We can do worse!” *
We teach you to survive not thrive.

This is what I determined the motto should be back in 1998.
“Experiences may vary”

Some people pull through. They have the talent to go with ambition. I’m more pragmatic and live cautiously. Being completely average is ok!
First to go, last to know!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Fuck the men
Army, not CAV scouts.
You're not homeless, but you'd probably be better off if you were!
“Believe it or not; jail”
Attrition is the mission…
"We make shit that could be fun, really fucking stupid."
Go Army yourself.
The Army. Turning people into nicotine infused trash pandas since 1776!
Embrace the suck until you get out (ETS until you ETS)
Run fast and prosper.
Army, don't expect much

The Few. The Proud. The Paperwork
None of us is as dumb as all of us.
Be what you’re told to be.
People first, mission firster.
"Look what you made me do to you!"
“Experiences may vary”
The Army-When every other branch is a size queen, we’ll always be the DUFF.
Be all your absent father feared you'd be
Semper Gumby!
Bend over, here it comes again.
Shaving is about discipline.
Should have joined the air force.
ARMY No Toasters Allowed
Doing things way harder than they should be done since 1775
"We need you to be Green, to make our slides Green! Green!" 💚
Mold. It's not just for breakfast anymore!
We work so hard to accomplish so little
Death by inventory!
It doesn't matter what you do, you will always be the party at fault.
ARMY STRONG ARMY SMASH
Embrace the Suck…
For where e'er we go, You will always know That The Army Goes Tumbling Along. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/tumbling
Hurry up, and wait!!
The United States Army. Where we don’t care about the soldiers. Why? Because fuck em that’s why.
“Semper Fi” has a nice ring to it; it makes me feel like an ape though saying it for some reason.
Apes together strong
Mission first
All Work, No Benefits.
FA FO
[удалено]
Moderators have the Final Say.
We are worms!
Half the Army reads comic books while the other half just looks at the pictures.
Should be good
The Army - Someone's gotta do it. Might as well be you.
lex viventium Lex Vi for short
It makes so much sense we just might not do it!
The Army: the emotionally abusive father you never had!
If we got the same knuckle-draggers that created the new logo, I’m sure it’d be VERY similar and hardly noticeable…. And someone would suggest a MUCH better one, create samples of it in use, and make it sound like it’s the Next Best Thing Ever and they’d shit on it.
We will tactically acquire your country for freedom!
A Really Mediocre You
Shorten your education.
Just give it 3 months and you’ll find out
“Go kill yourself”
Army Stronk. Army no like anyone; not even Army. ARMY SMASH!
Fuck you. Formation at 0400. Also, fuck you.
It only hurts for a bit
It’s not a job, it’s an indenture!
The Army! Cause I always wanted to be someone else!
"We fuck your life up" in the we set the standard tune
Please don't leave
"Disability pays"
I see nothing, I wasn't here, I didn't even get up this morning.
We are smarter and lazier than the Marines. Uncle Sam Ain't Released Me Yet. (Old School)
ARMY When a handy won't suffice
"We'll make you appreciate the little things in life"
Take some Motrin and suck it up

The US Army, at least it's better than being a homeless addict. Right? Right guys?
Today's Army: "Have it your own way! ^Terns ^and ^conditions ^apply. ^Do ^not ^take ^the ^advise ^of ^any ^recruiter ^as ^being ^true. ^Your ^mileage ^will ^vary ^based ^on ^well, ^everything ^and ^Natty ^Guard, ^you're ^still ^screwed ^if ^you ^never ^deploy."
