I jump from any vehicle in flight or any height.  I volunteered to do it, knowing well the hazards of my choice.  I serve in a mighty Astral Force – famed for deeds in war – renowned for readiness in peace.   It is my pledge in all that I am – in all that I do.

I am an elite trooper – a sky trooper - a space trooper – a shock trooper – a spearhead trooper.   I blaze the way to far-flung goals – behind, before, above the foe's front line.

I know that I may have to fight without support for days on end.   Therefore, I keep my mind and body always fit to do my part in any Astral task.

I am self-reliant and unafraid.   I shoot true, and march fast and far.   I fight hard and excel in the art and article of war.  I never fail a fellow trooper.

I cherish as a sacred trust the lives of those with whom I serve.   Leaders have my fullest loyalty, and those I lead never find me lacking.  I have pride in the Astrals!  I never let them down!

In peace, I do not shirk the dullest of duty, nor protest the toughest training.   My weapons and equipment are always combat ready.   I am neat of dress – military in courtesy – proper in conduct and behaviour.

In battle, I fear no foe's ability, nor underestimate his prowess, power, and guile.  I fight him with all my might and skill – ever alert to evade capture or escape a trap.   I never surrender, though I be the last.

My goal in peace or war is to succeed in any mission of the day – or die, if need be, in the trying.

I belong to a proud and glorious team, the Astrals, the Elite of the Ground Forces of the United Network Command Authority.   I am its chosen, proud to fight where others may not go – to serve them well until the final victory.

I am a trooper of Space and Sky!   I am the Alliance's best!   In peace or war, I never fail.   Anywhere, anytime, in anything – I AM ASTRAL!
