"I, (state name of enlistee), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

I took this Oath in May of 1968, at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and it still stands strong today and it does not have an expiration date. Do you remember when you took yours?

In 1986 I swore to this oath. In 1989 I also swore when I reup'd for 4 years. In 1992 I reup'd again - we had went to Desert Storm/Shield, I swore the to serve another 5 years. In 1996 I swore to support and defend for an indefinite period of time - this was shortly after we returned from Bosnia, I would serve for as long as my country needed me.
