HONOR CODE AND PROFESSIONAL VALUES

The Cadet Honor Code: We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does.

The purpose of the Honor Code is to foster an environment based upon a personal sense of honesty and integrity. Implementation of the Honor Code means not only can you be trusted but that you also have the moral courage to confront those who violate these standards. 

Lying:

Lying is any statement of untruth or omission of the truth, which is meant to deceive or mislead. 

Stealing:

Anyone who wrongfully takes, obtains, or withholds someone else's property without their permission, with the intent to temporarily or permanently deprive another of such property, is guilty of stealing.

Cheating:

In essence, cheating is taking unfair advantage of another. Cheating violates the competitive sense of "fair play." 

Toleration:

Toleration means the conditional acceptance of, or non-interference of, wrong-doings. If you know a cadet has lied, stolen, or cheated, and you fail to report or confront the matter, you may be guilty of toleration.

UNITED STATES AIR FORCE CORE VALUES:
INTEGRITY FIRST. SERVICE BEFORE SELF. EXCELLENCE IN ALL WE DO.

The mission of AFROTC is to develop leaders of character for tomorrow's Air Force and Space Force. The following three core values are the foundation upon which an Airman’s character is built:

Integrity First.

Integrity is acting in a manner that is consistent and uncompromised to a set of principles in both professional and private spheres of life. Persons of integrity do not make choices based on what is popular or most advantageous to themselves but rather on what most closely aligns to the posterity of their internalized principles.

Service Before Self.

The first three words of the U.S. Constitution, for which military members swear (or affirm) to support and defend are these: “We the People”. People are the most critical asset to national defense, and the very reason for which military members serve. To serve selflessly resists the natural tendency to focus on self-interests and, therefore, do not take advantage of situations for personal gain, pleasure, or safety. Unity and cohesiveness is generated where there is a willingness to share in the danger, hardships, and discomforts in order to promote common welfare of a group.

Excellence in All We Do.

To remain the world’s preeminent air force, Airmen make a lifelong commitment to developing a sustained passion for continuous improvement and innovation. Persons of excellence continuously venture outside their comfort zones and seek out ways to expand their knowledge and experience. These individuals welcome feedback and constructive criticism, and are not afraid to recognize their weaknesses and find ways to mitigate them. They base their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment not on how they compare with others but on the magnitude and longevity of their actions’ impact.
