Praising soldiers for their improvement and proper performance is even more important.

Military Appearance In this paper I will discuss the importance of why a NCO or Drill Sergeant should maintain proper military appearance and why it is important. The NCO’s Creed first states that “no one is more professional than I”‚ so I am sure that means more than just appearance. It is a statement that includes mannerism‚ attitude‚ professionalism etc. It also says that NCOs are the backbone of the Army‚ which will also tell you that we serve a critical role.
