Chad Wright’s Creed

Chad Wright’s Creed

Professionals have standards, to measure their actions against.


This video presents a creed for a special type of person who is ready to face any challenge and accomplish any mission. They accept responsibility, privilege, and loyalty to their team. They prioritize the welfare of others, control their emotions and actions, and maintain uncompromising integrity. They expect to lead and be led, never quit, and demand innovation and discipline from themselves. They constantly sharpen their skills, proficiency, and attention to detail, and stand ready to bring their full spectrum of knowledge, skills, and ability to bear in order to achieve the mission and goals established by their team.

In times of distress or uncertainty there is a special breed of person ready to face any challenge and prepared to accomplish any mission. A common human with an uncommon desire to succeed forged by adversity. I am that person.

I accept the responsibility that is bestowed upon me, and I understand that my chosen way of life is a privilege that I must earn, every day. 

My loyalty to my team is beyond reproach, I will humbly serve my fellow man and teammates, always ready to defend those that unable to defend themselves. I do not seek recognition for my actions and I will place the welfare of others before my own. 

I will serve with honor on and off the battlefield of life. The ability to control my emotions and my actions regardless of circumstance is what sets me apart, uncompromising integrity is my standard.

I expect to lead and be led, in the absence of orders I will take charge, i will lead my team and I will accomplish the mission. I will lead by example in all situations. 

I will never quit. I will persevere and I will thrive on adversity. My team expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than our opponents. If knocked down I will get back up, every single time. 

I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to accomplish the mission. I am never out of the fight. I demand innovation and discipline from myself. Mission success depends upon me. I will constantly sharpen my skills, my proficiency and my attention to detail. My training is never complete. 

I will train like I fight. I will stand ready to bring the full spectrum of my knowledge, skills and my ability to bear in order to achieve the mission and accomplish the goals established by my team. I will bring that to bear. The execution of my duties will be swift and efficient, guided by the principles of this creed.
