These are only three words, but as core values they serve as ideals that inspire Air Force people to make our institution what it is-the best and most respected Air Force in the world.
Core values represent the fundamental principles that guide our work and everyday lives.
They serve as the heart of our profession. While the vision calls for integration of instruction in core values throughout Air Force training and education, more can be done to translate Air Force core values into behavioral change. To help instill core values in airmen and strive for continuous improvement in adhering to them, the Air Force needs to expand its performance feedback program to include 360-degree feedback.
