"Our Core Values, Integrity first, Service
before self and Excellence in all we do, set the common standard for conduct
across the Air Force. These values inspire the trust which provides the
unbreakable bond that unifies the force. We must practice them ourselves
and expect no less from those with whom we serve."
General Michael E. Ryan
Chief of Staff
United States Air Force
In 1995, The Honorable Sheila
E. Widnall, Secretary of the Air Force and
General Ronald R. Fogleman,
Air Force Chief of Staff, approved these core values for the United States
Air Force. The Air Education and Training Command and the United
States Air Force Academy were tasked with promulgating these core values
throughout the Air Force at every level. This initial education has
been completed. Air Force commanders and schools for professional
military education continue to hold these values up for the inspiration
and guidance of new generations of military professionals.
