Semper Standby

When marines are in the midst of being left with out orders, they are therefore told to "standby" Which can be from one minute to an indefinate amount of hours. Leaving the marine to do nothing but sit stare. Which in turn drives marines crazy. Which is followed by crazy ass marines, doing stupid ass shit.

Semper Gumbi

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

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.
Cesar: I love the Marine Corps so much, that I got a tattoo of their emblem.
Josh: Semper Fi!
