training ended up being forgotten through the course of my first month. When I first enlisted to the war, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I for sure did not think I would see so many wounded on my first day. It was crazy, the outflow of soldiers just on my first week alone.

As we move up from Soldiers to Non-commissioned officers, creeds and doctrine further supplement our oath and reinforce this bond. Specifically, the Creed of the Non-Commissioned Officer outlines the role we fill as servant leaders. We spurn our own self-interest; we seek no individual credit, we seek no aggrandizement. The traditional marks of success: money, glory, praise; are rejected in favor of the satisfaction of mission accomplishment. The needs and welfare of our Soldiers are codified as…
