All the way Sergeant

From Elder Mauerman's Journal: Today as we entered the gate at Fort Bragg I handed my ID card to the MP and said good evening specialist (because that was his rank). He checked my ID as usual and then looked at my missionary name tag and said “thank you for preaching the gospel, all the way sergeant”.

When we were required to do pushups in jump school we would come to attention at the end and shout “airborne all the way”. That’s kind of the air borne motto meaning we will go all the way because we are air borne. Since Fort Bragg is an air borne base nearly everyone who passes through those gates is air borne so the MP’s often say “all the way”. The first time I went on base nearly a month ago when the MP said that to me it really made my day, because I hadn’t heard that since jump school. I wonder if he is a member since he seemed to recognized my missionary tag?  We hope to find out.
