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 watch-word. My two basic
  responsibilities will always be uppermost of 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 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!!!
