Military Principles:
LOYALTY PLEDGE
If you work for a man in heavens name, work for him, speak well of him and stand by the institution he represents. Remember, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must growl or externally find fault, resign your position and when you are on the outside, damn to your hearts content. But as long as you are part of this institution, do not condemn it. If you do, the first high wind that comes along will blow you away and probably you will never know why.
