Mine is the MP Creed. In it are words that I have always held near to my inner most desires, in addition to this the MP motto Assist, Protect, Defend both have great meaning to me.
Military Police Creed
I am a soldier and proud member of the United States Army Military Police Corps Regiment.
I am Of the Troops and For the Troops.
I believe there is no higher calling than to ASSIST, PROTECT, and DEFEND my fellow soldiers, their families, and the basic ideals of our Constitution that guarantee our freedom and our American way of life.
I am always ready to help individual soldiers retain or regain their dignity.
I assist commanders in performing their missions, safeguarding their commands, and maintaining discipline, law and order.
I am proud of the Military Police Corps Regiment and fully understand the awesome responsibility given to all military police soldiers.
At the same time, I am humble because I know that I am a servant of my country and my Army.
To perform my duties properly, my honesty, integrity, and courage must be balanced by competence, alertness, and courtesy.
I know I am constantly in the public eye and my behavior sets the standards of excellence of my fellow soldiers.
To my unit, my commander, and myself, I promise sustained, just and honorable support.
To my country, the Army and my Regiment, I promise the skills of my training, my physical ability, my mental initiative, and my moral courage, for I am a soldier in the MILITARY POLICE CORPS REGIMENT.

By the way, SFC (Join to see), I was an 11C from 20MAR70 to 16JUN73! I wasn't always Signal Corps!

SFC (Join to see), when I finished Infantry AIT (11C) on 20MAR70 (B-12-3 at Fort Jackson), there was no such thing as a "turning blue" ceremony, as far as I know. No blue infantry cords for us. They just stuck us on a bus and we headed to Fort Benning for jump school. I still have one in my shadow box though!

Army Tanker
This is what I do for a living. I ride around on these behemoths and scare the bejesus out of the infantry (ours and the bad guys). Tankers love to fight. Most tankers really hate working on their tanks, but if there's a fight somewhere, they're on their way. As a modern day General stated (this is paraphrased) "Armor guys will hurt you". This machine is outfitted with a 120mm Main Gun firing Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized and Cone Stabilized Discarding Sabot (Tank Killer Ammunition) and High Explosive Anti-Tank (Lighter armor vehicles, trucks, bunkers,etc.) . The tank is also armed with two 7.62mm machine guns (for killing infantry), a .50 caliber machine gun (12.7mm) for destroying trucks, lightly armored vehicles, and the occasional ground pounder that accidentally gets in the way. The crew consists of four people, the Tank Commander, the guy in charge of everything, usually a Staff Sergeant or above, a Gunner, responsible for aiming at (and killing) the bad guys, usually a Specialist or above. The Loader, who loads the main gun and assists the TC and the Gunner in finding enemy targets, usually in the rank of Private to Specialist. Last but not least, the Driver, who (duh!) drives the tank and maintains the track. These a just general descriptions of their jobs and does not encompass everything that they must do on their tank or as a part of their daily activities as a soldier in the U.S. Army. There are many missions that must be accomplished every day and each soldier must be a "Jack of all Trades".

We'll settle it sensibly. Everybody knows that second lieutenants will always get it wrong, so we just need you to figure out who's the second lieutenant to decipher the acronym, SFC (Join to see). Is it me or is it CPT (Join to see)?

OH HELL NO! That smells like a straight up LShaped ambush that THIS guy will avoid. BUT being a good SNCO willing to mentor LT's any and every chance I can I do have a 2 headed coin that y'all can flip to decide.

CPT (Join to see), the motto of the Signal Corps is PRO PATRIA VIGILANS, which means "watchful for the country".
The Signal Soldier's Creed is as follows:
I am Signal, the voice of Command. Hear me.
I will defend my country in the face of any danger.
Nothing can deter me: I will get the job done, and I will win.
I believe in my training, my equipment, my comrades and my
leaders. I depend on them, and they depend on me.
I am signal. Hear me.
I am the nerve system of our nation's defense.
I connect companies, brigades, entire Armies.
I speak from foxholes and from the White House.
Through me, the commander's will is done
anywhere in the world and beyond.
I am signal Hear me.
I am proud of my heritage, of my achievements,
and of the triumphs of my Corps.
I am honored to walk in the hallowed footprints of those
who served before me: at Bull Run and the Argonne;
on Guam and Midway; in Korea and Vietnam, and in the Deserts of Saudi Arabia.
I am Signal. Hear me.
Clearly, this was modeled after the poem "I Am the Infantry".
CPT (Join to see), wouldn't this one work for you?

Shows you what I know, CPT (Join to see)! I'm claiming CRS disease! I threw the SF creed up there, although I never heard it at Fort Bragg in 1970!

Thank you CPT (Join to see) for sharing this one.
Military Intelligence Creed
I am a soldier first,but an Intelligence Professional second to none.
With pride in my heritage, but focused on the future.
Performing the first task of an Army;
To find, know and never lose the enemy.
With a sense of urgency and of tenacity,
Professional and physical fitness.
And above all: Integrity--for in truth Lies victory.
Always at silent war while ready for a shooting war;
The silent warrior of the Army team
I always liked the Commissioned Officers Creed since graduating from OCS. I could actually claim several, The Soldiers Creed, Infantry Creed, Special Forces Creed, 5Th Special Forces Vietnam Creed and don't forget the Airborne Creed.
They all are very special to me, they helped shape my life.
Thanks for caring.

CPT (Join to see), here's another I can claim, although I don't think this existed when I was in SF.
The Special Forces Creed
•I am an American Special Forces Soldier!
•I will do all that my nation requires of me. I am a volunteer, knowing well the hazards of my profession.
•I serve with the memory of those who have gone before me. I pledge to uphold the honor and integrity of their legacy in all that I am - in all that I do.
•I am a warrior. I will teach and fight whenever and wherever my nation requires. I will strive always to excel in every art and artifice of war.
•I know that I will be called upon to perform tasks in isolation, far from familiar faces and voices. With the help and guidance of my faith, I will conquer my fears and succeed.
•I will keep my mind and body clean, alert and strong. I will maintain my arms and equipment in an immaculate state befitting a Special Forces Soldier, for this is my debt to those who depend upon me.
•I will not fail those with whom I serve. I will not bring shame upon myself or Special Forces.
•I will never leave a fallen comrade. I will never surrender though I am the last. If I am taken, I pray that I have the strength to defy my enemy.
•I am a member of my Nation's chosen soldiery, I serve quietly, not seeking recognition or accolades. My goal is to succeed in my mission - and live to succeed again.

The Medic Creed
My task is to provide to the utmost limits of my capability the best possible care to those in need of my aid and assistance.
To this end I will aid all those who are needful, paying no heed to my own desires and wants; treating friend, foe and stranger alike, placing their needs above my own.
To no man will I cause or permit harm to befall, nor will I refuse aid to any who seek it.
I will willingly share my knowledge and skills with all those who seek it.
I seek neither reward nor honor for my efforts for the satisfaction of accomplishment is sufficient.
These obligations I willingly and freely take upon myself in the tradition of those that have come before me.
These things we do so that others may live.
