I will not use my grade or posistion to attain pleasure, profit or personal safety. Competence is my watchword. My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind - the accomplishment of the mission and the welfare of my soldiers. I will strive to remain technically and tactically proficient. I am aware of my role as a noncomissioned 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 punishments. 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.
