Which of the following sets correctly lists the Air Force core values?

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

Answer: (B)

Airmen are guided by three values: Integrity First, Service Before Self, Excellence In All We Do. Integrity First means doing what’s right, even when no one is watching, and upholding honesty and moral courage in every action. Service Before Self emphasizes placing the mission and the welfare of others above personal interests, showing dedication to duty. Excellence In All We Do pushes you to strive for the highest possible standard in every task, continually seeking improvement and accountability.

This trio is the official set used to shape conduct and leadership in the Air Force. The other options include valuable traits, but they are not the exact combination and phrasing of the Air Force core values, so they don’t match the standard three listed here.
