| Sergeant Major | First Sergeant | Sergeant | Corporal |
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 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 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!
