The Army Junior ROTC Creed

I am an Army Junior ROTC cadet. I will always conduct myself to bring credit to my family, country, school and the Corps of Cadets. I am loyal and patriotic.  I am the future of the United States of America. I do not lie, cheat or steal and will always be accountable for my actions and deeds. I will always practive good citizenship and patriotism. I will work hard to improve my mind and strengthen my body. I will seek the mantle of leadership and stand prepared to uphold the Constitution and the American way of life. May God grant me the strength to always live by this creed.

Soilder Creed I am an American Soldier. I am a member of the United States Army -- a protector of the greatest nation on earth. Because I am proud of the uniform I wear, I will always act in ways creditable to the military service and the nation it is sworn to guard. I am proud of my own organization. I will do all I can to make it the finest unit in the Army. I will be loyal to those under whom I serve. I will do my full part to carry out orders and instructions given to me or my unit. As a soldier, I realize that I am a member of a time-honored profession--that I am doing my share to keep alive the principles of freedom for which my country stands. No matter what the situation I am in, I will never do anything, for pleasure, profit, or personal safety, which will disgrace my uniform, my unit, or my country. I will use every means I have, even beyond the line of duty, to restrain my Army comrades from actions disgraceful to themselves and to the uniform. I am proud of my country and its flag. I will try to make the people of this nation proud of the service I represent, for I am an American Soldier.     Officer's Creed I will give to the selfless performance of my duty and my mission the best that effort, thought, and dedication can provide. To this end, I will not only seek continually to improve my knowledge and practice of my profession, but also I will exercise the authority intrusted to me by the President and the Congress with fairness, justice, patience, and restraint, respecting the dignity and human rights of others and devoting myself to the welfare of those placed under my command. In justifying and fulfilling the trust placed in me, I will conduct my private life as well as my public service so as to be free both from impropriety and the appearance of impropriety, acting with candor and integrity to earn the unquestioning trust of my fellow soldiers--juniors, seniors, and associates--and employing my rank and position not to serve myself but to serve my country and my unit. By practicing physical and moral courage I will endeavor to inspire these qualities in others by my example. In all my actions I will put loyalty to the highest moral principles and the United States of America above loyalty to organizations, persons, and my personal interest     Code Of An Officer I am an officer of the Army of the United States and I am proud of this fact. I recognize the rich heritage behind the corps of officers, of which I am part, that has been built up by those who have marched before me at Saratoga, at Chapaltpec, at Gettysburg, at the Meuse-Argonne, at St. Lo and on the Naktong. This rich heritage has been built on a code--the code of an officer. This code is simple and easy to remember... Duty... Honor... Country. But it is not so simple to execute and requires a lifetime devoted to work, self discipline, and courage. DUTY The word duty means to me that... When I am assigned a mission, I accomplish it thoroughly, efficiently, and quickly. I accept all of my responsibilities even when not assigned them. Within my field, I hold myself responsible to be aware of everything that occurs and to take positive action to correct what is wrong or improve that which is merely possible. I do my job regardless of danger to me personally. HONOR Honor to me means that... As an officer of the Army of the United States my personal integrity is irreproachable. I will never degrade myself by lying, cheating or stealing. I hold myself personally and unequivocally responsible to ensure the preservation of the honor of the officer corps of the United States Army. COUNTRY Country means to me that... In addition to being an officer of the Army, I am an American citizen. I am an official representative of my country and will so comport myself. I will endure any hardship, any sacrifice, for the welfare of these my United States. This is the code I will live by... Duty... Honor... Country... all of these I put above myself whatever the cost.     Army General Orders 1st General Order: I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved. 2nd General Order: I will obey my special orders and perform all my duties in a military manner. 3rd General Order: I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies, and anything not covered in my instructions, to the commander of the relief.
