No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, aleader 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 conductmyself 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 beuppermost in my mind--accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my

soldiers. I will strive to remain tactically and technically proficient. I am awareof 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; theywill 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!
