Per Ardua
Shamelessly stolen from Arrse regarding the RAF motto "Per Ardua ad Astra"
They also claim that their motto (Per Ardua Ad Astra) means "through hardship to the stars". Which it might, to an Oxbridge classics graduate (although ardua can be considered to be "difficulties" and the only crab to get anywhere near the stars is Cancer.
Timothy Peake, Britain's first astronaut is, quite appropriately, an Army pilot!) However, RAF station cinemas were all called "Astra", so it's not hard to work out that the real meaning is "it's a hard walk to the cinema".
