[edit] Trivia

  • Due to the attrition rate of 48%, the highest of any AFA class, '75's class cheer is "Seventy Five, Barely Alive!".
  • The official motto of 75 (Ignotum Vincere) is To Conquer the Unknown; efforts were atempted early on, unsuccessfully however, to adopt "Illegitimi Non Carborundum" ("Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down").
