Semper Gumby Expert

This award is given to those who have demonstrated their agility and ability to pivot at a moments notice. These individuals are always ready and maintain a flexible attitude throughout the process. Semper Gumby is an unofficial dog Latin motto meaning "Always Flexible," used within the United States Military, NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps, and Federal Emergency Management Agency. It is a play on several official mottos such as Semper Fidelis ("Always Faithful"), Semper Fortis ("Always strong"), and Semper Paratus ("Always Ready"). Semper Gumby refers to the flexible animated clay character Gumby.
