Just curious, Ive heard alot of mottos for Comm: "Comm til it Hertz", "Comm does it wit freqs", "Theres no Combat without Comm", etc....

What other mottos are used out there???

Who's got the cards

Crap, the Gunnies coming up the hill. Hide the beer.

I'm heading to Berto's, whatcha want?

She looked 18

What do you mean we have to work late?

Only an hour and half for lunch? That's bullshiat.

Why yes PFC, the prc E8 is in that office right there.

Not really mottos, but may as well be.

Yeah I'll take a Chorizo w/eggs burrito and 4 rolled tacos. Hell yeah that's what I had with a six pack of Bud Ice the night me and Smitty came back from the Mike Ness concert @ the 4th & B in downtown SD around Nov' 99

A couple of weeks before that, one of my friends from Alpha Company, CPL Wilhelm got busted for a DUI while coming back from a Eriberto's run out the back gate

Damn OceanSlime PD!!

When I was with the Wing out of Miramar we supported the Air Combat Element(ACE). So I have to give credit where credit is due. Chad Hayes, a Muxter I knew put up a sign at CAX that said "We put the Comm in your ACE." Always been my favorite.

Especially 2831s. Everytime I went to the "field" I'd come back with one hell of a tan and a couple of paychecks saved up.

I think ours was

"HUTCHINSON!!!! Get those G*D DAMN antennas up and get those G*D DAMN crypto fills uploaded before I put your G*D DAMN ugly azz on comm watch all G*D DAMN Week!!! You might be a sh*t hot radio operator but if you can't do a 1st class PFT then you ain't making corporal boy!!! You brain dead computer b*tches don't get special accomadations from me. You MOS is comm. You work COMM, Period B*tch"

I, in all honestly, really respected that man and aspired to be like him...all 5 feet 2 inches of him.

This quote got me to thinking about some of the other ways we picked on new boots.

-Sending a PFC to look for BA 1100 Novembers

-Send them to Motor-T for HUMMV keys

-And tell them to refill the blinker fluid

-Make them re-inventory everything until they found the sky hooks

-A close second to the PRC E8 would have to be the atomic sit-up

Of course, I guess now they would consider some of those "hazing"?!

I remember one at RadBn that I thought was a little out there..."In God we trust. Everyone else we monitor."

"what we have here is a failure to communicate"

Funny the first time that someone asks what's wrong with the radio.

Not so funny the 30th time, but hey, consistancy is my thing.

I know that you've all heard this one after the rest of the company has been dismissed from formation: "COMM, BACK TO THE SHOP!!!!!!!!!"
I still have nightmares............

Actually, there is or was a hook called a sky hook. In a MATCU (Mobile Air Traffic Control Unit) it was the hooks on stabalizer cable on the back of a radar parabolic antenna. Whoever did the parts list for the equipment had a sense of humor and got away with it. There was also a mounting bracket called a widget. In the 70s both of these parts were in the supply system and had part numbers. I have no idea if the current air traffic control equipment includes these items or not.

oh man gotta love you guys my bf is a comm bn guy currently in iraq

For the wire dawgs: "Pulling cable won't make you go blind."

oh oh how about
"comm in yo face!"
made that up in hcax 05

{I know that you've all heard this one after the rest of the company has been dismissed from formation: "COMM, BACK TO THE SHOP!!!!!!!!!"

Dacian........me too buddy, i was laughing my farking arse off when i saw that!!!!

or how about-
"go ask top for the grid squares."

(grab those little plastic air bags that come in boxes as fillers) tell a pfc to "go refill the canned air."

one time we actually told a pfc to go get a can of A-I-R, he came back with a can of compressed air from the ismo section. we were pissed. we told him to go see the sgt in the next room (door labeled "exit") after he walked through the door we closed it, he had to walk around the whole building to get back in. serves him right for bringing that damned can back....

i had a good one done to me-
"hey stone, we gotta drain the rf out of all the cables, go hang it up over there in the corner...." yeah, i caught on at the last moment. i recently did that to one of my boots before i got out. vary satisfactory.

"COMM, BACK TO THE SHOP!!!!!!!!!"

Man that does bring back memories. I heard it a lot and had to say it a time or two before my six years was over with. I tried not to say it, but there where a few occasions when it just had to be done. Gunny would say something like 'SGT Schell you are in charge of this project and it has to be done right away. You can't go home until it is finished.' Except he being the old salt he was through in more than the occasional expletive.

Our Motto was the old, 'The Key to Success in battle is effective Communications.'

How bout "Commie Bastards", our base XO called us that.

Our motto in 7th Comm Bn, 3rd Mar Div, Okinawa was:

"The impossible we do immediately,
Miracles may take us a day longer"

And we did just that from 76-77. Worked with the TRC 97's, Microwave Comm. equipment. We did what they didn't think could be done, more than once.
