COAST GUARD

I AM PROUD TO BE A UNITED STATES COAST GUARDSMAN. 

I REVERE THAT LONG LINE OF EXPERT SEAMEN WHO BY THEIR DEVOTION TO DUTY AND SACRIFICE OF SELF HAVE MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO BE A MEMBER OF A SERVICE HONORED AND RESPECTED, IN PEACE AND IN WAR, THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. 

I NEVER, BY WORD OR DEED, WILL BRING REPROACH UPON THE FAIR NAME OF MY SERVICE, NOR PERMIT OTHERS TO DO SO UNCHALLENGED. 

I WILL CHEERFULLY AND WILLINGLY OBEY ALL LAWFUL ORDERS. 

I WILL ALWAYS BE ON TIME TO RELIEVE, AND SHALL ENDEAVOR TO DO MORE, RATHER THAN LESS, THAN MY SHARE. 

I WILL ALWAYS BE AT MY STATION, ALERT AND ATTENDING TO MY DUTIES. 

I SHALL, SO FAR AS I AM ABLE, BRING TO MY SENIORS SOLUTIONS, NOT PROBLEMS. 

I SHALL LIVE JOYOUSLY, BUT ALWAYS WITH DUE REGARD FOR THE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF OTHERS. 

I SHALL ENDEAVOR TO BE A MODEL CITIZEN IN THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH I LIVE. 

I SHALL SELL LIFE DEARLY TO AN ENEMY OF MY COUNTRY, BUT GIVE IT FREELY TO RESCUE THOSE IN PERIL. 

WITH GOD'S HELP, I SHALL ENDEAVOR TO BE ONE OF HIS NOBLEST WORKS...
