Do You Know Each One of the Service Creeds?

Most of you know your own Service Creed, but do you know each one of the other Service Creeds or special Creeds?

What does that Creed mean to you?

There are many Creeds for special parts of each of the major Service Branches, so I'll start this question off with the Soldier's Creed!

Post other special creeds (I posted the Intelligence Soldiers Creed) Are there more?



The Soldier's Creed


I am an American Soldier.

I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States and live the Army Values.

I will always place the mission first.

I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit.

I will never leave a fallen comrade.

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.

I am an expert and I am a professional.

I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

I am an American Soldier.

Now that's funny! Also good advice.
One of my instructors at the police academy told us before the start of a training exercise: "Always behave as if the cameras are rolling because one day they will be and you'd better be absolutely doing the right thing."
Forever faithful to the 'Thin Blue Line'.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs There are many creeds in the military services of this nation. I never learned the others service creeds because I never swore an oath to become a sailor, marine or airman.
over the decades I have known the Combat Engineer creed, the USMA, West Point Creed, the Soldiers Creed and the Infantryman's creed.
The ones that rings truest to me is the Infantryman's creed:
U.S. Army - The Infantryman's Creed

I am the Infantry.
I am my country's strength in war.
her deterrent in peace.
I am the heart of the fight-
wherever, whenever.
I carry America's faith and honor
against her enemies.
I am the Queen of Battle.

I am what my country expects me to be-
the best trained solider in the world.
In the race for victory
I am swift, determined, and courageous,
armed with a fierce will to win.

Never will I betray my country's trust.
always I fight on-
through the foe,
to the objective,
to triumph over all,
If necessary, I will fight to my death.

By my steadfast courage,
I have won 200 years of freedom.
I yield not to weakness,
to hunger,
to cowardice,
to fatigue,
to superior odds,
for I am mentally tough, physically strong,
and morally straight.

I forsake not-
my country,
my mission
my comrades,
my sacred duty.

I am relentless.
I am always there,
now and forever.
I AM THE INFANTRY!

Sailors would be worth a creed from you, Colonel. As you are to me.

The Rifleman's Creed is outstanding, my friend. It was printed in the rifle range scratch booklet where we recorded our scores during the 1 week rifle range which is an annual requirement for every Marine [even CMC himself]. I became familiar with the infantry man's creed during my 2 1/2 years as an 11B (I started as an 11M but they killed that designation). The Airman's creed still chokes me up. I know my word is my bond and even retired I am not released from a vow. I guess being an Airman has really impacted me because I spent half of my service career in the USAF and I consider myself always to be a Soldier & a Marine. I guess I am blessed.

I actually think of it almost daily, and I have been out of the beloved Corps for over 16 years. The other day I was out in a crowd and I heard the distinctive slur of a DI's yell and I felt a sense of panic until I realized false alarm.

MSgt Kurt S. - I can agree with that,MSgt. There seems to be some change in the structure since i was in the Marine Corps.Did they take the 2531 MOS out?To me a 2531(field radio operator)was nothing but a ground pounder with a 23 pound radio on his back.
