| First Verse A letter from my Uncle said, “Young man you’re way too smart to serve me in the usual way, so this is where we’ll start Just put these cans upon your ears, tap ditty dum – hurray! It’s goodbye to your mom, your girl, and your dog – you’re in the ASA!! |
Second Verse Ten thousand miles from home with endless ditty-bopper chores Monterey Mary in the next bunk is snoring loud in morse I’m a lonely NUG, I need a hug, but all I get are cuts and splits So, I wash the ditties from my brain, and tap, tap, tap again |

Interested in various ASA Unit Emblazoned Wear or Ware? Check It Out! www.cafepress.com/armyasa and follow the links Your support is greatly appreciated! About the ASA Patch Approved 15 Jun 1962 Description:
Teal blue within a 1/8 inch yellow border,
a shield 2 inches wide and 3 inches
in depth,and issuant from
the viewer's upper left the leg of an eagle in black with
yellow talons grasping two crossed white lightning flashes
issuant from upper right points to base.
Symbolism: The flashes across the blue field suggest world-wide electrical communications. The eagle's claw grasping the flashes alludes to the Agency's general mission, that of insuring the smooth functioning of the Army's communication facilities. The big question I have: who took one look at the new patch and uttered the infamous phrase: "L.F.C.F."?? ASA Marching Song While in the States and far abroad Guarding, guarding our country's freedom, Were the men that get the job all done. The vigilant sentry never ever sleeps, He's always right there on the job, The hidden enemy, always lurking, He will not escape the vigilant sentry's eye So as we're marching proudly down the way, We fly our standards high. The proud men of our unit also hold their heads up high. So here we go we're always all the way Soldiers first and second to none We're marching, guarding, fighting. For our Country. -- From a Banner Hung at
Arlington Hall Station Thanks to Robert Dowdall - his other claim to fame - "ALL
THE WAY!"
Coined for use with the ASA Salute at the time Lt.
Col. Louis Millett was School commander in the '60's He also helped
with the design of TTC.
