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. 

To describe or 'refer to the rank of' an Enlisted rank, you use the terms, chevron and rocker. A chevron is a triangle, and a rocker is the bar underneath the triangle. For example, the rank of Cadet Private First Class consists of one chevron and one rocker.

For the rank of First Sergeant, you would use chevron's, rockers, and an additional diamond in the center. For Sergeant Major, there is a star in the center. For Command Sergeant Major, there is a wreath and a star in the center.

To describe an Officer's rank, you use the terms, pip and diamond. A pip looks like a circle. For example, the rank of Cadet Second Lieutenant consists of one pip. For officer ranks with diamonds, the diamond would be faced horizontally on the rank. 

To put ribbons on your uniform, you need to put them in order from most important to least as according to the order of precedence. Wearing the jacket, the lowest ribbon would be closest to your left arm.
