and CORRECT Answers
The Creed of Noncommissioned Officer - CORRECT ANSWER - 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
technically and tactically 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 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; 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!
