Military Motto

The 480th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing belongs to the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency. It is the go-to unit for such airborne surveillance platforms as the MQ-9 Reaper, the MQ-1 Predator, and the RQ-4 Global Hawk.

It’s motto gives you the score from the outset: “Non Potestis Latere.”
Translated: “You Can’t Hide.”

That’s the site where I got the translation. Just trying to verify it’s accurate. Thanks.

Tag the thread George (to get the attention of George ... the site's go to expert in Latin).

(not necessary, George will find it ...)

I think I have my answer:

Te abscondere non potes

For what it's worth:

Check out Non Potestis Celare

Non Potestis Abscondum sounds okish but yer hiding not absconding.

Not a fan of Non Potestis Latere unless you fancy a bit on the side.

I say again…

The 480th Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Wing is headquartered at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia.

Current commander: Colonel Max Pearson, June 2018 – present

Motto: Non Potestis Latere – "You Can't Hide"

Langley Air Force Base
Part of: Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency.

Still in doubt?

Give the base a call… you’re most welcome.




Hi Slippy, when I want a bit on the side, I reach for the moutarde.

However I did get bit on the side by a Loxosceles reclusa and a protein in the spider’s venom targets phospholipid molecules, which make up a good portion of cell membranes, and transforms these molecules into simpler lipids.

The wound that is produced may require several months to heal, or it may become infected, which could lead to the death of the victim.

After many hours of agonizing pain, I’ma sorry to say the spider died.
