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!

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
