I am a Drill Sergeant. I will assist each individual in their efforts to become a highly motivated, well disciplined, physically and mentally fit soldier, capable of defeating any enemy on today's modern battlefield. I will instill pride in all I train. Pride in self, in the army, and in country. I will insist that each soldier meets and maintains the army standards of military bearing and courtesy, consistent with the highest traditions of the U.S. Army. I will lead by example, never requiring a soldier to attempt any task I would not do myself. But first, last, and always, I am an american soldier. Sworn to defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. I am a Drill Sergeant
