Creed of the Noncommissioned Officer
N
o one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of cadets. As a Noncommissioned Officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored corps, which is known as "The Backbone of the Civil Air Patrol."I
am proud of the Corps of Noncommissioned Officers and will at all times conduct myself so as to bring credit upon the Corps, the Military Service and my country regardless of the situation in which I find myself. I will not use my grade or position to attain pleasure, profit, or personal safety.C
ompetence is my watch-word. My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind--accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my cadets. I will strive to remain tactically and technically proficient. I am aware of my role as a Noncommissioned Officer. I will fulfill my responsibilities inherent in that role. All cadets are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my cadets and I will always place their needs above my own. I will communicate consistently with my cadets and never leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and punishment.O
fficers of my unit will have maximum time to accomplish their duties; they will not have to accomplish mine. I will earn their respect and confidence as well as that of my cadets. I will be loyal to those with whom I serve; seniors, peers and subordinates alike. I will exercise initiative by taking appropriate action in the absence of orders. I will not compromise my integrity, nor my moral courage. I will not forget, nor will I allow my comrades to forget that we are professionals, Noncommissioned Officers, leaders!
Welcome to
MY domain. I am First Sergeant Tony George, and I would like to welcome all of our new cadets and their families to the Columbus Cadet Squadron. I have been with the squadron for over two years, and I am very excited to see all of the advances we have made in this time. Our cadet program has become one of the strongest programs in the wing. I am proud to say that MY Noncommissioned Officer’s have excelled in our expanding squadron. With our increasing attendance has come increasing responsibilities for the NCOs. In the past, most of the NCOs responsibilities dealt only with element size groups (four to six members). Both of our flight sergeants are now responsible for a combined total of 19 cadets. They have done an outstanding job with their duties as NCOs and leaders! If you have any question at all, feel free to ask me or one of my NCOs.First Sergeant George
If you would like to know more about my job, check out Captain Shawn Stanford's
First Sergeant's Guide. While you are looking at that, why don't you also take a look at Captain Stanford's NCO Guide and the NCO Handbook. Both of these are great sources that have allowed me to accomplish all that has been asked of me. When your done with these, why don't you check out some of my favorite jodie calls or my links below.
NCO Business
Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Jackson agrees with me when I say that YOU are the key to the success of our squadron. As you know, the NCOs are the cadets who accomplish the directives of our officers. In the past few months, I have seen a great increase in your time management skills, your ability to handle responsibility, and your leadership skills. I ask from you that you continue to work hard and advance to the coveted General Billy Mitchell Award. Just don’t forget that I am always here for you if you happen to hit any bumps on the way. Your hard work will continue to positively affect not only your image with your superiors but your image with your subordinates. I would also like to direct your attention towards the Indiana Wing Summer Encampment. To be affective at this encampment, you are going to need to do many things prior to your arrival. You will need to actively work on physical fitness, drill & ceremonies, customs & courtesies, and most importantly your Uniform. Now is the time to start shining those boots and preparing your uniform for the rigors of nine days at Camp Atterbury. Doing this work prior to the encampment will enable you to do something much more important at the encampment. That is, HELPING YOUR CADETS!
