In our nation's time of need, there are Sailors that stand ready... Honor Bound... to defend freedom. They serve on shallow waters and rivers, around the world, with honor and distinction. I am proud to be one of these Sailors... a Riverine Sailor.

I am a quiet professional:tried tested and dedicated to achieving excellence in Riverine warfare operations. I am a disciplined, confident, and highly motivated warrior.

My Honor and integrity are above reproach: my commitment to duty unquestioned and my word trusted. The American people depend on me to execute my mission in a precise and professional, military manner.

I maintain my craft, equipment and myself at the highest possible levels of combat readiness.
I set the standard and lead by personal example. I am responsible for my actions and accountable to my shipmates, superiors, and the American people. I am ready for war, but hope for peace. in the event of conflict, I will close and engage the enemy with the full combat power at my disposal. My actions will be decisive, yet measured. I will always complete my mission and do my duty leaving no shipmate behind, dead or alive.

My heritage was born during the revolution that made ours a free nation. The legacy and courage of those warriors who went in harms way before me guides my actions. I shall never forget the selflessness, perserverance, and sacrifices made to secure our nations freedom. I will always uphold and maintain the honor of those who fought before me and staunchly protect our proud history.

"HONOR BOUND TO PROTECT FREEDOM"
