Staff Oath

This is the Oath that the Line staff will recite upon posting in front of their units on the first day. Memorize this now.

Cadet Commander raises right hand (the signal for the rest of the staff to raise theirs) and then recites the first line, after which the line staff repeats. After the Oath the staff lowers their arms as soon as the Cadet Commander lowers his.

I understand that these basic cadets are entrusted to my care,
I will train them to the best of my ability to become:
Honorable
Motivated
Well disciplined
Physically fit
Basically Trained Cadets
Prepared to excel in their Civil Air Patrol careers, and beyond.
