Kita chari jauh (Malay)
Very bad Malay. They should change it.

Although Brats often reckon that "Per Ardua Ad Astra" translates as "Through Difficulties To The Cinema," every airman would agree that it means "After work we're all off to the cinema."...

'In Omnia Parati'... ...means 'we drop paratroops everywhere' Possibly still does.
I never knew the Legions had paratroops. They never had aeroplanes at any rate, perhaps they threw them over the walls with a balista centenaria? Or called upon Hercules himself.

Hey, ho. Jalan-jalan, menchari makan.
