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.
