W-U-T-V-D-N-B-G-M

[Cadetat6]

In adition, there were other ground-training and ground school sessions. For example, in one classroom session we learned how to navigate at night by a widely dispersed geographic network system of lights that blinked out morse codes. (we also received morse code refresher sessions) To enable a pilot to confirm or determine where he was, the system's "location" codes were sequenced in the geographic grid this specific order: (W - U - T - V - D - N - B - G - M). How is it that I still remember a detail like that sixty years later? It's because we had an outstanding instructor whose skills included the effective use of "memory keys". The key he gave us for remembering the light code sequence was this statement: "We Understand That Virgins Do Not Become Good Mothers". Who could forget that?
