------
I am the backbone of the United States Marine Corps, I am a Marine Non-Commissioned 
Officer. I serve as part of the vital link between my commander (and all officers) and 
enlisted Marines. I will never forget who I am or what I represent. I will challenge myself 
to the limit and be ever attentive to duty. I am now, more than ever, committed to 
excellence in all that I do, so that I can set the proper example for other Marines. I will 
demand of myself all the energy, knowledge and skills I possess, so that I can instill 
confidence in those I teach. I will constantly strive to perfect my own skills and to 
become a good leader. Above all I will be truthful in all I say or do. My integrity shall be 
impeccable as my appearance. I will be honest with myself, with those under my charge 
and with my superiors. I pledge to do my best to incorporate all the leadership traits into 
my character. For such is the heritage I have received from that long, illustrious line of 
professionals who have worn the bloodstripe so proudly before me. I must give the very 
best I have for my Marines, my Corps and my Country for though today I instruct and 
supervise in peace, tomorrow, I may lead in war.
