Class Book Project: PART III

Integrity First


1.   Honesty​
​HONESTY: Honesty is the hallmark of integrity. As public servants, we are trusted agents. Honesty
requires us to evaluate our performance against standards, and to conscientiously and accurately report
findings. It drives us to advance our skills and credentials through our own effort. The service member’s
word must be unquestionable. This is the only way to preserve the trust we hold so dear with each other
and with the population we serve.
2.  Courage​
​COURAGE: Courage is not the absence of fear, but doing the right thing despite the fear. Courage
empowers us to take necessary personal or professional risks, make decisions that may be unpopular,
and admit to our mistakes; having the courage to take these actions is crucial for the mission, the Air
Force, and the Nation.

​3.  Accountability
​ACCOUNTABILITY: Accountability is responsibility with an audience. That audience may be the American
people, our units, our supervisors, our fellow Airmen, our families, our loved ones, and even ourselves.
Accountable individuals maintain transparency, seek honest and constructive feedback, and take
ownership of the outcomes of their actions and decisions. They are responsible to themselves and
others and refrain from actions which discredit themselves or our service.
