Creed Of The Noncommissioned Officer
No one is more
professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of
soldiers. As a Noncommissioned Officer, I realize that I am a member
of a time honored corps, which is known as "The Backbone of the
Army".
I am proud of the Corps of Noncommissioned Officers and will at all times
conduct myself so as to bring credit upon the Corps, the Military Service and my
country regardless of the situation in which I find myself. I will not use my
grade or position to attain pleasure, profit, or personal safety.
Competence is my watchword. My two basic responsibilities will
always be uppermost in my mind -- accomplishment of my mission and the welfare
of my soldiers. I will strive to remain tactically and technically proficient. I
am aware of my role as a Noncommissioned Officer. I will fulfill my
responsibilities inherent in that role. All soldiers are entitled to outstanding
leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my soldiers and I will always
place their needs above my own. I will communicate consistently with my soldiers
and never leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending
both rewards and punishment.
Officers of my unit will have maximum time to accomplish their
duties; they will not have to accomplish mine. I will earn their respect and
confidence as well as that of my soldiers. I will be loyal to those with whom I
serve; seniors, peers, and subordinates alike. I will exercise initiative by
taking appropriate action in the absence of orders. I will not compromise my
integrity, nor my moral courage. I will not forget, nor will I allow my comrades
to forget that we are professionals, Noncommissioned Officers, leaders!
