The unofficial bastardized Latin motto of many organizations, particularly military units. "Semper", of course is the Latin word for "always". "Gumbi" refers to Gumby, a TV character made of clay. Thus, Semper Gumbi is translated as "Always Flexible."
G.I. Joe: "We were supposed to go back home a month ago but these Iraqis can't get their stuff together. Now we have to stay indefinitely."
G.I. Jack: "There's no use crying about it. Just suck it up and remember - Semper Gumbi."

Semper Fi, adopted in 1883, is the U.S. Marine Corps motto. It's short for Semper Fidelis, which is latin for "Always Faithful." To many Marines, Semper Fi, is not just a phrase but a way of life-the commitment that they all share to their community, to their Corps, and to eachother. It's why there are no ex-Marines, only former Marines.

"The motto of the Marine Corps is Semper Fidelis, Latin
for "always faithful" .Until 1871 it was "First to Fight",
a motto that still applies. Through the years, Marines have
shortened it to Semper Fi, and "Semper Fi, Mac" is the universal
Marine Greeting."
