Does the Creed of the Non-Commissioned Officer say “tactically and technically” or “technically and tactically"?

My NCOER has tactically and technically proficient, dated in 1992 and I always say tactically and technology proficient. So I guess progress changes s lot of things.

If you're a "Proficient Leader", does it really matter what the word is, as long as everyone understands what we're all talking about, and the accomplishment. Salute!

Sorry Army, but I have to ask. You have a NCO creed? Is there one for the AF NCO? but my pay when i went in was $68 per month.

I've always learned it as "tactically and technically."

Tactically & technically.

It has been a long time since I've read the NCO Creed so I don't recall there being different versions. In the end I don't think it really matters. As an NCO you are required to be both.

I've seen it done both ways, and one of the stories (and I emphasize story) is that it flips depending on if we're in an active time of war when tactically should take precedence. I've also heard it can be read technically first if you're in a support MOS versus a combat MOS. All taken with a grain of salt. I tend to prefer saying it as technically first.

I went to basic training before I went to AIT, OK not really I went to OSUT but most people will understand where I am coming from. This to me means I would have to be tactical before I could be technical. Everyone is a soldier first right? Either way you need to be both, and some good idea fairy with a twisted mind like me is probably the reason for the discrepancy. I'm sure I didn't answer your question, just mudding up the water a little.
