Simper Fi is short for semper fidelis..which is Latin for "Always Faithful" ....Most marines will greet each other with a semper Fi and a high five..as a well done on the job at hand.Its the motto of the marines everywhere..you see the marines are 1 for all and all for 1.Once you become a marine you will always be a marine..WARNING..the marines are not for lame feeble low life drug addicts..they are looking for a few good men..and women..LOL do you have what it takes?

It's a contraction of the Latin phrase "Semper Fidelis" meaning "Ever Faithful".

I prefer "Peace through superior firepower" tho!

I would assume it to be a shortened version, of semper fidelis.
Literal translation:- "Always faithfull"

"Always Faithful!"

Now ask: What doe's "Si Vic Pacem Para Bellum" mean?

That is the personal motto for many of us in the Grunts and Spec ops community.

Always faithful. You have to be pretty brave to be a Marine - they go into the toughest part of it most times, and bear the brunt of it. Regardless of ones political leanings, you have to admire that type of courage and dedication.

It means always faithful but I think the secret meaning is kill people and break things because that is what we do best.

I am even honored to provide wordless wieners like anti patriotic to voice his ignorance.

IT MEANS;
"i'm brainwashed bad, kick me."
