What are the three commonly cited Air Force core values that AAS members are expected to reflect?

• A. Courage, Honor, and Loyalty.
• B. Duty, Honor, Country.
• C. Respect, Integrity, and Excellence.
• D. Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence In All We Do.

Answer: (D)

The key idea here is the official Air Force triad that guides how officers and cadets should behave: Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence In All We Do. Integrity First means doing the right thing and staying honest and accountable, even when no one is watching. Service Before Self emphasizes putting the mission and the welfare of others above personal interests, showing dedication and discipline. Excellence In All We Do pushes you to hold high standards, pursue continuous improvement, and give your best in every task.

This exact trio is the standard Air Force foundation taught across the service and reflected in AAS membership. While other options include important values, they do not match the recognized three-part set used by the Air Force and AAS.
