<P> I am a Petty Officer in the United States Navy, the strongest Navy in the world . I have the distinct privilege of being a leader of the finest Sailors anywhere . As such, I owe my Sailors leadership that they can depend on, trust, and follow . </P> <P> I will neither fear nor shun responsibility and I am always responsible for my actions . I am always fair and impartial when dealing with my Sailors; remembering not to accept full credit for a "A Job Well Done" without proper recognition of my Sailors first . </P> <P> I am loyal to my subordinates, peers, and those officers appointed over me . I cannot favor either; my integrity must be beyond reproach . </P> <P> I will fully support all Navy Regulations and Articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice . I have the duty to correct and report all violations of these regulations that govern my Navy . </P>
