Marines NCO Creed

The Marine Non-Commissioned Officer Ranks include Corporal (E-4) and the Sergeant (E-5). The Marine NCO, the Marine Non-Commissioned Officer. Tales of their ventures and achievements have become the substance of their legend. Marine NCO's are the Corporals and Sergeants responsible for the lives of their Marines in peace and combat. They must be leaders, but also much more. They carry with them the unbroken traditions of duty and dedication to their assigned mission. The Marine NCO Creed is not lengthy. It is short, but it is to the point. The Marines NCO Creed: I am an NCO dedicated to training new Marines and influencing the old. I am forever conscious of each Marine under my charge, and by example will inspire them to the highest standards possible. I will strive to be patient, understanding, just and firm. I will commend the deserving and encourage the wayward. I will never forget that I am responsible to my Commanding Officer for the morale, discipline, and efficiency of my Marines. Their performance will reflect an image of me.
