Neither is trademarked by the Army but use by others with no conection to them would be at best cheesey - at least by me.

Now, im a VOFG. But, it would seem to me that using the Crest, Motto or anything else SF Specific for personal gain, could be considered a health hazard to the user JMHO though.

I think I've heard the phrase used before here, and in I took it to mean "Move out and mind my own business."
If I look like a tool for using it the wrong way or using a phrase that doesn't even exist, then, thanks for letting me know so I don't have to look a tool anymore.
