Ethics
Abstract
We are the Senior Noncommissioned Officers of today and we must lead by example. As leaders we should always do the right thing. Not just because doing right is good but also because doing the right thing for the right reason and the right intention is better. Our ethical morals and values are what young leaders will govern themselves by in the future. One definition of ethics is the discipline dealing with what is wrong or right. Prior to joining the Army, every person has a particular way of thinking and every person has a value system. The Army is a unique organization which brings us all together and gives us a structure to parallel our thoughts and beliefs. We call this Army Values. Our responsibility is to educate our soldiers on Army Values. This phase does not stop after basic training. We must teach our young leaders to make the right choices. Sometimes it may be easier to take shortcut or half do things, but is it right? Teaching them to always choose the harder right over the easier wrong will make them better leaders.
