Air Force Vision:
Global vigilance, reach, and power.

Air Force Mission:
The mission of the United States Air Force is to fly, fight and win...in air, space and cyberspace. 

Air Force ROTC Mission:
Develop quality leaders for the Air Force.


CORE VALUES:

Integrity First
Integrity is essential. It's the inner voice, the source of self-control, the basis for the trust that is imperative in today's military.  Doing the right thing when no one is looking.

Service above 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 the professional military force.


THE AIR FORCE SEAL:

Official Colors
The official colors of the ultramarine blue and Air Force yellow appear predominantly on the Air Force Seal. The circular background of the seal is ultramarine blue. The trim is Air Force yellow.

The Crest
Eagle - The American bald eagle symbolizes the United States and its air power and appears in its natural colors
Wreath - The wreath under the eagle is made up of six alternate folds of metal - white (silver) and light blue.
Cloud Formations - The white clouds behind the eagle shows the start of a new sky - the Department of the Air Force.

The Shield
The shield, below the eagle, is divided into two parts by a nebulous line representing clouds.  The top part bears an Air Force yellow thunder-both with flames in natural colors that show striking power through the use of aerospace.  The stars represent the original 13 colonies.  The yellow Roman numerals represent 1947, the year the Air Force was established


THE 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 boys, give'er the gun!
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one helluva roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame,
Nothing‘ll stop the US Air Force!

Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,
Sent it high into the blue.
Hands of men blasted the world asunder,
How they lived, God only knew!
Souls of men, dreaming of skies to conquer,
Gave us wings, ever to soar!
With scouts before and bombers galore,
Nothing can stop the US Air Force!

Here's a toast to the host of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send the message of his brother men who fly.
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 the men we boast
The US Air Force.

Off we go, into the wild sky yonder,
Keep your wings level and true.
If you’d live to be a gray-haired wonder,
Keep the nose out of the blue!
Flying men, guarding our nation's borders,
We'll be there, followed by more!
In echelon, we carry on,
Nothing can stop the US Air Force!
