THE CHIEF PETTY OFFICER'S PLEDGE
I AM A CHIEF PETTY OFFICER IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY...
-- I SERVE MY COUNTRY AND HER PEOPLE WITH PRIDE AND HONOR.
-- I SEEK NO SPECIAL FAVORS.
-- I MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, AND DO THE BEST I CAN DO.
-- I AM CHARGED WITH A LEADERSHIP ROLE LIKE NO OTHER IN THE WORLD.
-- I DEVELOP JUNIOR OFFICERS AND MOLD MY SAILORS.
-- I ACKNOWLEDGE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACTIONS OF MY SAILORS...
-- BECAUSE THESE SAILORS ARE THE SEEDS OF FUTURE CHIEF PETTY OFFICERS.
-- I LIVE BY THE NAVY'S CORE VALUES OF HONOR, COURAGE AND COMMITMENT.
-- I SET THE EXAMPLE.
-- I ESTABLISH THE STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE.
-- MY SAILORS ARE STUDENTS AND I AM THEIR TEACHER.
-- I GUIDE AND INFLUENCE THE LIVES OF THESE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN.
-- IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, I WILL DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF THESE SAILORS.
-- THEY LOOK UP TO ME BECAUSE I TREAT THEM WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT.
-- BECAUSE THEY NEED A LEADER, I AM THERE FOR THEM.
-- AFTER ALL...
