First paragraph of the NCO creed Correct Answer: No one is 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.
All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my
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,
peers, and subordinates alike. I will exercise initiative by taking appropriate action in the absence
of orders. I will not compromise my integrity, nor my moral courage. I will not forget, nor will I
allow my comrades to forget that we are professionals, noncommissioned officers, leaders!
The Soldier's Creed Correct Answer: 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.
,The Army Song Correct Answer: March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free
Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory

First to fight for the right, and to build the Nation's might,
And the Army goes rolling along
Proud of all we have done, fighting till the battle's won,
