I was looking through my dads old badges and insignia stuff while today, and I say a badge that said "I'll try sir!" I was wondering what that is granted for.
He was in the army for i believe 4 or 5 years, in the Panama jungle when the US was controlling the Panama Canal, Also alot of his badges and stuff have swords on them, aswell as parachutes, i know he was airborne infantry, but anyways im curious about what that "i'll try sir" badge is granted for, and also what are alot of badges with swords on them granted for?

He was probably in Alpha company 3/5. It is 3rd battalion 5th infantry Ft. Kobbe Panama. I was in bravo company bandidos. I'll try sir is a motto of the 5th infantry. To comment on one reply, no army soldier would ever secretly want to be a jarhead jyrene marine. Hooah

"I'LL TRY, SIR."
5TH INFANTRY REGIMENT

So your Dad was probably in the 5th Infrantry Regiment or.. It was probably a prank badge or something like the people up there said..

I'll try sir sounds like a prank or joke badge. Normally in the military it's Sir Yes Sir! , not I'll try to.
