The Air Force Song: First Verse

Off we go into the wild blue yonder, Climbing high into the sun; Here they come zooming to meet our thunder, At 'em now, give 'em the gun! Down we dive, spouting our flame from under, Off with one helluva roar; We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey! Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

So help me God."

Sir Winston Churchill

"Success is not final; failures is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."

United States Armed Forces Code of Conduct: IV

If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith in my fellow prisoners. I will give no information nor take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and back them up in every way.

United States Armed Force Code of Conduct: V

When questions, should I become prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.

United States Armed Forces Code of Conduct: VI

I will never forget I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

Marcus Aurelius

If it's endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining. . . you can endure anything your mind can make endurable.

Lieutenant Commander Jocko Willink, USN

Discipline. Equals. Freedom.

General Charles A. Gabriel, Chief of Staff, USAF

Integrity is the fundamental premise for military service in a free society. Without integrity, the moral pillars of our military strength, public trust, and self-respect are lost.

General Ulysses S. Grant, USA

In every battle, there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten; then he who continues the attack wins.

John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

General Lori J. Robertson, USAF

Servant leadership. . . It's the notion of being part of something bigger than yourself and of making the people around you better. In our daily struggles to advance within an organization, we sometimes forget that it's actually more about . . . the people around us.

John Stuart Mill

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse. The person, who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and had no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

General Mark A. Welsh III, Chief of Staff, USAF

Treating EVERY Airman with dignity and respect must be at the heart of who we are and how we operate. . . Every single person around you bring something to the fight that you don't. Each of them is critically important to mission success.

Italian Air Marshall Guilio Douhet

Victory smiles upon those who anticipate the changes in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after the changes occur.

General Bernard Schriever, USAF

In the long haul, our safety as a nation may depend upon achieving space superiority.

General George S. Patton, USA

The troops I have commanded have always been well dressed, been smart saluters, been prompt and bold in actions because I have personally set the example. . . The influence one man can have on thousands is a never-ending source of wonder to me. You are always on parade.

Napoleon Bonaparte

An army marches on its stomach.

Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Father Denis E. O'Brien, Sergeant, USMC

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag.

Officer Oath of Office

"I, (name), having been appointed a (grade in which appointed) in the United States Air Force, 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; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter. So help me God."

The Air Force Song: Second Verse

Brilliant minds fashioned a crate of thunder, Sent it high into the blue; Valiant hands blasted the world asunder; How they lived God only knew! Boundless souls dreaming of skies to conquer Gave us wings, ever to soar! With scouts before and bombers galore. Hey! Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

The Air Force Song: Third Verse

Here's a toast to the host Of those who love the vastness of the sky, To a friend we send a message of the brave who serve on high. We drink to those who gave their all of old, Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold. A toast to the host of those we boast, the U.S. Air Force!

The Air Force Song: Fourth Verse

Off we go into the wild sky yonder, Keep the wings level and true If you'd live to be a grey-haired wonder Keep the nose out of the blue! Fly to fight, guarding the nation's border, we'll be there followed by more! In echelon we carry on, Hey! Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!
