A Noncommissioned Officer Academy student will not cheat, steal, lie, nor tolerate those who do. The President has reposed special trust and confidence in your patriotism, valor, fidelity, and ability, and has charged you with the responsibility for maintaining these ideals. A fundamental prerequisite of excellence of character is honor.
Deviation compromises that special trust.
The Noncommissioned Officer Academy Honor Code is the application of the standards of ethics and conduct expected of NCO's in the United States Army, and is an essential element in the character molding of the individual. It demands complete integrity in word and deed and permits no deviation. Adherence to the spirit of the Honor Code is expected at all times. Violations of the Honor Code, intentional or unintentional, must be reported. Any student who either gives or receives assistance on any graded exercise or examination other than that specifically authorized or who uses any source of information on such an exercise or examination other than that specifically authorized, is guilty of cheating, which is a violation of the Honor Code.
