First paragraph of the NCO creed Correct Answer: No one is more
... [Show More] professional than I. I am a
noncommissioned officer, a leader of soldiers. As a noncommissioned officer, I realize that I am
a member of a time honored corps, which is known as "The Backbone of the Army". I am proud
of the Corps of noncommissioned officers and will at all times conduct myself so as to bring
credit upon the Corps, the military service, and my country regardless of the situation in which I
find myself. I will not use my grade or position to attain pleasure, profit, or personal safety.
Second paragraph of the NCO creed Correct Answer: Competence is my watchword. My two
basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind - accomplishment of my mission and
the welfare of my soldiers. I will strive to remain technically and tactically proficient. I am aware
of my role as a noncommissioned officer. I will fulfill my responsibilities inherent in that role.

soldiers and I will always place their needs above my own. I will communicate consistently with
my soldiers and never leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending
both rewards and punishment.
Third paragraph of the NCO creed Correct Answer: Officers of my unit will have maximum
time to accomplish their duties; they will not have to accomplish mine. I will earn their respect
and confidence as well as that of my soldiers. I will be loyal to those with whom I serve; seniors,
