I will never forget that I am responsible to my Commanding Officer for the morale, discipline and efficiency of my men. I will commend the deserving and encourage the wayward. I will strive to be patient, understanding, just, and firm. I am forever conscious of each Marine under my charge, and by example will inspire him to the highest standards possible. I am an NCO, dedicated to training new Marines and influencing the old. The Marine Corps NCO creed is short and to the point: They represent the unwavering traditions of duty and dedication to their assigned mission.
These Marines are leaders of men and much more. NCOs are responsible for the lives of their men in or out of combat situations. The Marine NCO ranks of corporals and sergeants hold a special position in the Corps. Marine Corps Ranks: Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) (E-4 and E-5) Moving up the Ranks: Unlike the ranks of PFC and LCpl, to be worthy of the title "non-commissioned officer," you must demonstrate that you are capable of handling the demands of the next higher grade by meeting basic eligibility requirements and competing in a Marine Corps-wide, Composite Score competition, which is intended to promote the best qualified candidates. Lance corporals are expected to continue to apply thier technical training, in addition to learning and developing leadership skills. Lance corporal is your next step in becoming an integral part of the Marine Corps. The rank of lance corporal (LCpl) was first used by the Marines in the Indian Wars of the 1830s. The rank of lance corporal was established permanently in 1958, but the term dates back to the early 1800s. Lance Corporal is the third enlisted rank (E-3) in the Marine Corps.
