What it means to be a Cobra… It means that I strive for excellence. I push myself farther, faster and study harder than any other. Readily will I accept the responsibilities entrusted to me and be prompt and diligent when handling them.

I am determined to work hard and keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally correct. First to arrive and the last to depart, I will always watch over my subordinates. I will make every effort to set the highest standards and ensure they are kept high at all times. In absence of leadership, I'm in charge. I will bring order to chaos and settle all troubles with the least amount consequence. I endeavor to follow the path of a leader and set the very best example in everything I do.

I will bring honor to my unit, family and my Country at all times. I will always report a change to my subordinates and to my leaders. I will make certain that cadets are always respectful to their leaders. I am ready for the countless tribulations life will throw my way.

I am a COBRA, and will always be a COBRA.
