The Marine Staff
Non-Commissioned Officer Ranks include Staff Sergeant (E-6) to the
highest enlisted rank possible, which is the Sergeant Major of the
Marine Corps (E-9).
We all have responsibilities
and goals to live up to. Those that are unfortunate don't know what is
expected of them can rarely accomplish anything of significance, and
they can never be a team player. In the Marine Corps every Marine,
regardless of rank, in war or in time of peace, has goals and
responsibilities. Goals change from time to time and from situation to
situation. But, the elementary and constant responsibility of each Staff
NCO is outlined in the Staff NCO Creed.
The Marines
Staff NCO Creed
I am a Staff
Noncommissioned Officer in the United States Marine Corps. As such,
I am a member of the most unique group of professional military
practitioners in the world. I am bound by duty to God, Country, and
my fellow Marines to execute the demands of my position to and
beyond what I believe to be the limits of my capabilities. I realize
I am the mainstay of Marine Corps discipline, and I carry myself
with military grace, unbowed by the weight of command, unflinching
in the execution of lawful orders, and unswerving in my dedication
to the most complete success of my assigned mission. Both my
professional and personal demeanor shall be such that one may take
pride if my juniors emulate me, and knowing perfection to lie beyond
the grasp of any mortal hand; I shall yet strive to attain
perfection that I may ever be aware of my needs and capabilities to
improve myself. I shall be fair in my personal relations, just in
the enforcement of discipline, true to myself and my fellow Marines,
and equitable in my dealing with every man.
