Air Force Song Verse 1
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!
Air Force Song Verse 2
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!
**NOTE**
The song attached says “Minds of men” instead of “Brilliant Minds”; the correct version is “Brilliant minds”
Air Force Song Verse 3
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!
Air Force Song Verse 4
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. Oh, nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!

President Thomas Jefferson
“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 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.”
Lt Col Lisa Jaster
“There’s no quitting, I can’t have quit in me. There was never an option to stop and quit.”
General George C. Marshall, USA
“There is no limit to the good you can do if you don’t care who gets the credit.”
General Daniel S. “Chappie” James, USAF
“The power of excellence is overwhelming. It is always in demand, and nobody cares about its color.”
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.”
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 has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”
General Norman Schwarzkopf
“The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.”

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 the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter.

Enlisted Oath of Office
“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. 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.
AIR FORCE MISSION
