Air Force ROTC Flashcards
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 now, Give 'em 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. Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!
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! (God only knew!)
Boundless souls dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings, ever to soar!
With scouts before and bombers galore.
Nothing’ll 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 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!
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. Nothing will stop the U.S. Air Force!

General Robert E. Lee, CSA Quote
“Duty then is the sublimest word in the English language. You should do your duty in all things. You can never do more. You should never wish to do less”. General Robert E. Lee, Confederate States of America
General Joseph L. Collins Quote
“The American people rightly look to their military leaders to be not only skilled in the technical aspects of the profession of arms, but to be men of integrity”. General Joseph L. Collins

John Stuart Mill Quote
“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 has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself”. John Stuart Mill
Air Force Code of Conduct 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 and its allies or harmful to their cause
Air Force Code of Conduct VI
I will never forget that 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 the United States
Air Force Core Values
Integrity First
Service Before Self
Excellence In All We Do
Father Denis E. O’Brien, Sergeant, USMC Quote
“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”. Father Denis E. O’Brien, Sergeant, USMC
Alfred Thayer Mahan Quote
“War, once declared, must be waged offensively, aggressively. The enemy must not be fended off; but smitten down. You may then spare him every exaction, relinquish every gain, but ‘til then he must be struck incessantly and remorselessly”. Alfred Thayer Mahan
General Daniel S. “Chappie” James, USAF Quote
“The power of excellence is overwhelming. It is always in demand, and nobody cares about its color”. General Daniel S. “Chappie” James, USAF
Brigadier General Jeannie M. Leavitt, USAF Quote
“Gender, race, religion, none of that matters. What matters is how you perform”. Brigadier General Jeannie M. Leavitt, USAF
Major Lisa Jaster, USA Quote
“There’s no quitting. I can’t have quit in me. There was never an option to stop and quit”. Major Lisa Jaster, USA

President Thomas Jefferson Quote
He who permits himself to tell a lie once finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells a lie without attending to it, and truths without the world believing it.
General George C. Marshall, USA Quote
There is no limit to the good you can do if you don’t care who gets the credit.
Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright Quote

“I, ___, 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; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Officer Oath of Office
“I, ___, 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 my duties of the office upon which I am about to enter. So help me god.”
Integrity First
Integrity is essential. It’s the inner voice, the source of self-control, the basis for trust that is imperative in today’s military. Doing the right thing regardless of who is looking.
Service Before Self
Military service is not just another job. It’s an uncommon profession that calls for people of uncommon dedication. A leader unwilling to sacrifice individual goals for the good of the unit cannot convince other unit members to do so.
Excellence in All We Do
Our mission often involves the risk of human life and sometimes national survival. The obligation to excel is a moral obligation for members of a professional military force.
