I see pilots who decide to stay put at some TDY location another day, because the weather on the way home might damage their jet. I see maintenance-arming crews turn back my aircraft before takeoff for minor problems, because their technical order guidance told them to, even if it will delay the sortie. I see instructor pilots who won't pass borderline students on instructional rides when they don't meet standards. I see airplanes grounded when a microscopic set screw is discovered missing from an instrument in the cockpit. As illustrated in the above examples, every day, Air Force people make much less public, but much more important, core value decisions that affect valuable lives, equipment and ultimately, our national security.
Integrity requires hard choices when no one is looking.
