ARLINGTON, Va. — The Pentagon has narrowed down the finalists of the unit slogan contest to roughly 500 variations of “Tip Of The Spear,” sources report.

The contest, announced earlier this year, was to distinguish the most unique slogan a military unit has given to itself. Slogans are a chance for units to display a sense of creativity, individuality and pride, defense officials said.

“We started with 30,000 slogans,” Lt. Col. Bob James, commanding officer of the famed administrative "tip of the spear" unit 2947th Administrative Affairs. “First thing we did was eliminate ones that didn't mention tip of the spear. That left us with 29,997.”
