Men who adopt

the Profession of arms
submit their own Free will

They reject their rights,

From the moment they become a soldier

it heeds an order to settle them
from their places
to move to that
to separate their lives.

In the world of command,

they must rise!
March, run, endure bad weather
go without sleep or food.

Be isolated in some distant post,

work until they drop.
They have ceased to be the master of their own faith
if drop on their tracks,
and their ashes scattered in the four winds

it’s all a part and parcel of their job.

-Charles de Gaulle
 Don’t Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
 Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As
far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they
too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with
others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than
yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however
humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind
you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of
heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of
all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with
dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less
than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore
be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to
be happy.

Rifleman's Creed

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I
must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he
shoots me. I will...
My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our
burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will
learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will
keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each
other. We will...
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are
the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is Philippine's and there is no enemy, but peace!
 Pledge of Loyalty

If you work a man in heaven’s name,

work for him, speak well of him and
stand by to the institutions he represents.

Remember, an ounce of loyalty

is worth a pound of cleverness.
If you must growl or externally find a fault,
resign your position
and when you are on the outside,
damn to the heart’s content.

But as long as you are part of his institution,

do not condemn it.
If you do,
the first high of wind that comes along
will blow you away and probably
you will never know why.
CADETS’ PHILOSOPHY
1. Stand and deliver.
2. Don’t quit.
3. Perfect practice makes perfect.
4. Respect is not given but earned.
5. Attitude is a small thing but it makes a difference. He, who lives without
discipline, dies without dignity.
