Just as a WAG, I think it's probably safe to say that whatever its
origins, they
are more than likely NOT American.

I thought that initially as well, but the US map shows a star at about
the location of Davis-Monthan. I'm betting, since the only part of the
Latin I can decipher has something to do with a lot of nights, that
it's either a special ops patch or maybe a strategic recce patch, as
in U-2.

Any Latin linquists in the house?


Well, I'm certainly not a latin linguist, but a web search helped
a bit: I found URL:http://www.ancts.org/resources/chadwick/

CLASSIS -is, f. 1 A group of persons or things sharing a common
attribute, class:

CAECE, adv. Blindly

MULCTA -ae, f. also MULTA. A monetary penalty, fine

NOCTU, adv. By night

No hits for "NOLI"

No hits for "ROGARE", but maybe it's a conjugation
of ROGATIO -onis, f. The act of asking, request

So, whatever it is, they come by night and take your money
without asking? Sounds like a recon/spec ops thing, yes.

EAa - waiting for some latin scholar to yell about stupid
amateurs.
