"Per Mare Per Terras" is even older than the Royal Marines. It is the motto of my ancestors, Clan Donald of Scotland. These are the "Sons of Somerled". Somerled was the first Lord of the Isles and his decendants used that title until it was stolen by the English and is now wrongfully used by Prince Charles among his many other titles. It took England 600 years or so to give back the Stone of Scone. They should give back that one too.

Semper Fi, mac (being the son of WWII Marine I think I can use that)

Charge 7 as far as I'm concerned you can use it anytime you wish. Far be it from me to anger a Jock with acess to a howitzer

03USMC, thanks buddy! Gave me the best laugh I've had in awhile.

I'm not sure about Marine Mottos but us girlfriend's of the marines have a few cute mottos Like: "once you sleep with a marine you'll never be daddys little girl again" "support our troops....One Marine at a time" "Don't make me sick my Marine on your sorry ass" "Do not touch violators will be one fewer and less proud" "semper fi to my marine" "be safe sleep with a Marine" I like them.........lol but then again I'm a girl!!!

One of the most used I've heard was:
One shot, One kill.
I'm surprised nobody posted that here yet.

Of course, also, once a marine always a marine. [Like the one shot, one kill better though personally].

motto of my platoon in boot camp


GUIDE:Ready Step!
PLT: ONE SHOT!!!
GUIDE:Left Face!
PLT: ONE KILL!!!!
GUIDE: FOWARD MARCH!
PLT: 69!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well at least this was the one we said in the chow hall while in line
