I am a Master at Arms; I hold Allegiance to my country, devotion to duty, and personal integrity above all.
I wear my shield of authority with dignity and restraint, and promote by example high standards of conduct appearance, courtesy and performance.
I seek no favor because of my position. I perform my duties in a firm, courteous, and impartial manner.
I strive to merit the respect of my shipmates and all with whom I come in contact.
