"I,Zarius Corten, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962). I took this oath the day I enlisted. There is no time limit on this oath. There is no target limit on this oath. I made this oath knowing these two facts. I think like a pack animal. I act like a pack animal. I may not be alpha, but I protect my pack.
