French Maritime Motto

Post by Tom-May » Fri May 09, 2008 7:43 am

"... Somebody recently told me the French Navy have a new support unit for Naval personnel ashore - Apparently they have adopted new recruiting slogan.

"To the water. The hour has come"

Which didnt mean a thing till I saw it in French...

"À l'eau, c'est l'heure"

(Try saying it aloud)
