I am the PRESENT, the scholar and apprentice soldier enhancing my skills in the science of warfare and the art of leadership. But above all I am FUTURE, the future WARRIOR LEADER of the United States Army. May God give me the compassion and judgment to lead and the gallantry in battle to WIN. I WILL DO MY DUTY.
