Aviation Cadet Honor Code

The following was borrowed from the book, "We wanted wings; A history of the aviation cadet program", written by Dr. Bruce Ashcroft. 

OFFICER CODE
Duty well performed, Honor in all things, Country before self.

AVIATION CADET HONOR CODE

Article 1: An Aviation Cadet will not knowingly make any false statement, written or
verbal, while acting in any capacity, official or otherwise, or in any situation reflecting on the Aviation Cadet Corps or the Air Force.

Article 2: An Aviation Cadet will not take or receive the property of another person, or
persons, under any conditions, without specific authority of that person or persons.

Article 3: An Aviation Cadet will not impart or receive any unauthorized assistance,
either outside or inside the classroom or places of instruction, which would tend to give
any Aviation Cadet unfair advantage.

Article 4: An Aviation Cadet will not quibble, use evasive statements, or technicalities in
order to shield guilt or defeat the ends of justice.

Article 5: An Aviation Cadet will report any violation of honor by another Aviation
Cadet of which he is witness or has unquestionable knowledge.

Article 6: An Aviation Cadet will not commit any act of intentional dishonesty which will
reflect in any way on the honor and integrity of the Aviation Cadet Corps and the Air
Force.

Officer Code and Cadet Honor Code both from the brochure, “Aviation Cadet Knowledge,”
Preflight Training School, Lackland AFB TX, 1959.

It's nice to know that some things haven’t changed much!  Nearly 50 years later the Air Force's Core Values embrace the same message:

"EXCELLENCE IN ALL WE DO * INTEGRITY FIRST * SERVICE BEFORE SELF"
