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 him 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 moral, discipline, and efficiency of my men, and their performance will reflect an image of me.
