Air Force Code of Conduct:


I. I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

II. I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.

III. If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

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.

V. When questioned, should I become a 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 or harmful to their cause.

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

Air Force Song

Off we go, into the wild blue yonder

Climbing high into the sun.

Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,

At em’ boys, giver ‘er the gun.

Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,

Off with one, hell of a roar.

We live in fame, or go down in flame,

For nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force !



Here’s a toast to the host, of those

Who love the vastness of the sky.

To a friend, we’ll send a message of his
brother men who fly.

We drink to those, who gave their all of old,

Then down we roar to score the rainbow’s pot of gold.

Here’s a toast, to the host of men we boars,

The U.S. Air Force !



Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,

Sent it high into the blue.

Hands of men blasted the world asunder,

How they lived, God only knew.

Souls of men, dreaming of skies to conquer,

Gave us wings, ever to soar.

With scouts before and bombers galore,

Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force !



Off we go into the wild sky yonder,

Keep your wings level and true.

If you’d live to be a gray-haired wonder,

Keep your nose out of the blue.

Flying men, guarding our nation’s borders,

Will be there, followed by more,

In echelon, we carry on,

For nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force !

The Airman’s Creed

I am an American Airman.
I am a Warrior.
I have answered my Nation’s call.

I am an American Airman.
My mission is to Fly, Fight, and Win.
I am faithful to a Proud Heritage,
A Tradition of Honor,
And a Legacy of Valor.

I am an American Airman.
Guardian of Freedom and Justice,
My Nation’s Sword and Shield,
Its Sentry and Avenger.
I defend my Country with my Life.

I am an American Airman.
Wingman, Leader, Warrior.
I will never leave an Airman behind,
I will never falter,
And I will not fail.
