Cadet Creed

I am an Army Junior ROTC Cadet.
I will always conduct myself to bring credit to my family, country, school and the Corps of Cadets.
I am loyal and patriotic.
I am the future of the United States of America.
I do not lie, cheat or steal and will always be accountable for my actions and deeds.
I will always practice good citizenship and patriotism.
I will work hard to improve my mind and strengthen my body.
I will seek the mantle of leadership and stand prepared to uphold the Constitution and the American way of life.
May God grant me the strength to always live by this creed.

General Orders

1. I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved.
2. I will obey my special orders and perform all my duties in a military manner.
3. I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies, and anything not covered in my instructions to the commander of the relief.

Cadet Leader's Code
I renew my status as an ROTC cadet leader by what I do each day.
I know my strengths and my weaknesses and I constantly strive to improve.
I live by moral code and my actions set an example for the other cadets to emulate.
I know my job and carry out the spirit as well as the letter of the orders given to me.
I take the initiative and seek responsibility and I face every situation with boldness and confidence.
I evaluate every situation and develop the best course of action.
No matter what the result, I assume full responsibility for my actions.
I train my cadets as a team and I lead them with tact, enthusiasm, firmness, and fairness.
I command and earn their confidence and loyalty. They know that I would not assign them to any duty that I would not - or could not - perform.
I see that they understand their orders and I energetically follow through to ensure that their duties are completed.
I keep my cadets informed and I make their welfare one of my primary concerns.
These things I do in fulfillment of my obligation as a cadet leader in the ROTC program.
