Chiefs' Creed

Chief Master Sergeants are individually to be regarded as people-

Who cannot be bought;

Whose word is their bond;

Who put character above wealth;

Who possess opinions and a will;

Who are larger than their vocations;

Who will not lose their individuality in a crowd;

Who will be as honest in small things as in great ones;

Who will make no compromise with wrong;

Whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires and interests;

Who are true to their friends through good report and evil report, in adversity as well as prosperity;

Who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning, and hard-headedness are the best qualities for winning success;

Who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular, who can say "no" with emphasis, although all the world is saying "yes".
