United States Marine Corps. Non-Commissioned Officer's Creed
"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."

Corporal, Military Policeman, Host Nation Police Advising Instructor
As a Non-Commissioned Officer within the Marine Corps, I served as a Team Leader and directly supervised a team of Marines, where I was expected to train, analyze, grade, and critique the performance of those Marines. My main focus was the general well-being of my Marines and to help them to succeed, to guide them through the beginnings of their Military Career. To also, lead by example and demonstrate the qualities I expected and desired and to train them to be exceptional. |
