I was a commissioned (warrant) officer, but I had to go look for the officer's creed. Found it here:

U.S. Army - Commissioned Officer Creed - Military Authority

I never knew that officers had a creed (seriously!). I feel as if I should make a smart @$$ remark here but I'm just too dumbfounded. This makes two things I've learned today! Good thing it's almost my bedtime, wouldn't want to overload the grey matter!

I think we all forget about the all important PT Belt Creed

I Am A Reflective Belt Of The United States Of America

Long may I be worn.

The Air Force did away with all creeds and replaced it with the Airman's Creed. Which is a bad knock off of the Soldiers 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 entrusted 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.

Vaguely recall reading about in in The Officer's Guide as a junior officer in the late '70s, but was never emphasized... People always do best what the boss checks...nobody checked...

The only creed I knew, and still know, is the Ranger Creed-- forever seared into the deep recess of my brain.

Never heard of it. Should be something like: "Stand tall. Look smart. Never be indecisive. If you have no self-confidence, fake it."

I did know that it exists, but do not have it memorized. I've always felt that if you need the Army to tell you your duty and responsibilities, than you need to find another career.

Never heard of it. Creeds are like food coloring in cookie dough... No practical use. I'm fine with the oath and the Army Values.
