TCSN Academy Simulator Handbook Version
Together we fight, united by a bond -- A bond of courage, A bond of daring, A bond of friendship. Without my wingman I am nothing, Without me my wingman is nothing, Only together can we achieve What our cause has called us to Complete. For our beliefs we fight Against the menace that has risen. My wingman is my guardian, And I am my wingman's guardian. With my wingman by my side, I will not fear death or destruction, I will not feel the eyes of hate Resting upon us. I will fly my ship strong and straight Never doubting that my wingman Is there to protect me.
Victory Streak Version
Together we fight, united by a bond -- A bond of courage, A bond of daring, A bond of friendship Without my wingman I am nothing. Without me my wingman is nothing. Only together can we achieve What our cause has called us to complete. For our beliefs we fight Against the menace that has risen. My wingman is my guardian, And I am my wingman's guardian. With my wingman by my side, I will not fear death or destruction, I will not feel the eyes of hate resting upon us. I will fly my ship strong and straight, Never doubting that my wingman is there to protect me.
Behind the Scenes
The Wingman's Creed is structurally similar to those used by the various branches of the United States Military. The fourth and fifth lines, "Without my wingman I am nothing / Without me my wingman is nothing", are reminiscent of the sixth and seventh lines of the U.S. Marine Corps' Rifleman's Creed, in particular.
