In military jargon, what does "Sempa Fi" [sic] mean?
366676
the correct Military Jargon for that is "Semper Fi" which is Short for Semper Fidelis which is Latin for "Always Faithful". Semper Fi is the USMC Motto. it is used to modivate marines to get the job done to full excellence to be commited to the purpose and never leave the purpose unresolved.In that one word Marines can say Hello, how are you, Hoorah brother, and godspeed.My Brother is a Marine. Hoorah is like a super modivational word. Inspires the heart and soul of a marine to strive for excellence. Sometimes when you see a marine begin to get irratated with the task at hand he will shout a big HOOORAH!!!! and strive for perfection at that task.

It is a phrase I first read in Bill Mauldin's books. He was the most famous cartoonist in WWII and his books will give you a wonderful "grunt-level" picture of the war in Europe. The term is a combination of "garrison" and "paratrooper".\n\nThe cartoon, as I recall, had three soldiers. In the back was an unshaven soldier sitting at a table in an outdoor cafe, getting drunk. \n\nIn the foregraound was a neat, shaven soldier in a tie and a dirty, unkempt combat infantryman, obviously just back from the front lines. The neat one was explaining to the combat one, "We call them garret troopers; they're stationed too far forward to wear a tie and too far back to get shot."

Per Ardua Ad Astra - through struggle to the stars, the motto of the UKs RAF. I'm sure they wouldn't mind you borrowing it, as they did from Virgil. (the Roman poet, not the one in Thunderbirds!)

It means "if they can" or "if s/he can" or "if one can" and it's like saying "if it's possible"\n\n\nI see the other two posts after mine. "Si" can mean either "yes" or "if" depending upon whether the i has an accent mark or not. Without an accent mark, it means "if" and with an accent mark it means "yes"

sic, meaning "thus," is used when the writer quotes material that may not be grammatically correct but were actually what the person being quoted actually said or wrote. It is a way of showing the reader "I know this is a mistake and so do you, good reader, but I am telling you this is exactly how it came to me. Don't write in and complain about my spelling or my poor grammar."\n\nIt can also be used to snidely point up the writer's opinion that the quoted speaker is not too bright. \n\n\n"Vice President Quayle stood up at the spelling bee and said ' "potato: P-O-T-A-T-O-E (sic)" ' "

if you're referring to semper fi it's short for semper fidelis and means always faithful in latin.

I don't think "semper" is right for the sense you want it in.  The idiomatic Church Latin phrase "in saeculi saeculorum" is given the usual English equivalent "for ever" or "for evermore", and therefore almost exactly matches the sense that you want.

Ok, Semper Fi is short for semper fidelis, it means always faithful, I know this because I was a US Marine, and that is our motto, so semper means always. As far as unscrambling? uh..they arent scrambled, and Progredi may be Latin, but it is NOT a part of the USMC. I hope I have helped you out.
