In 1960, a hardy group of prep school students boards an old-fashioned sailing ship. With Capt. Christopher Sheldon (Jeff Bridges) at the helm, the oceangoing voyage is intended to teach the boys fortitude and discipline. But the youthful crew......
In the old days the bell was also used to indicate the time of day. In one scene of the Hollywood-movie "White Squall" this bell with its engraving WHERE WE GO ONE - WE GO ALL plays an important role. In the audio file you hear the spoken words "Where we go one - we go all" and two double-chimes of the bell. Striking the bell that way means either 2 o'clock, 6 o'clock or 10 o'clock.
Here's the script for White Squall.
Skipper manages a sobering look and climbs on top of the
chart house. He pats a small brass sign that is welded to
the main mast and reads the inscription.
SKIPPER
(reading)
"Where we go one, we go all."
With that, he disappears below. Nobody moves. This is
exactly the kind of man you want around when the shit hits
the fan.

SKIPPER
Excellent point. As you might have
noticed, being out here pretty much
puts you in the moment. If you
panic, if you lose your head, you
die. Maybe you take your mates with
you. How'd you like to have to bet
on Terry here getting us home today?
Each one of you is responsible for
the rest. "Where we go one, we go
all". If your buddy is asleep at
the switch we're all fish food.

Tears begin to stream down Chuck's face. His father,
Charles, slowly stands meeting his sons eyes. Go for it.
CHUCK
Tell me Skipper, was it all just a
lie? "Where we go one, we go all".
We listened to you. We believed it.
And we're still here!!
I heard someone saying this pledge was not invented by Q but is an oath known by military. Is that correct?
White hats will never admit Q is real, why are people here surprised by Flynn's statements?
Head fake.
I think due to his vehemence. He could deny it many ways without insulting us.
Prior service Marine. Never heard it before Q.
Facts:
wwg1wga was engraved on the bell on a boat owned by JFK.
The saying is highlighted in the film "White Squall" as the rallying cry for the crew.
I've never heard that it has ever been used as "an oath by the military".
WWG1WGA is a quote from the movie White Squall.
