CMSAF emphasizes Air Force core values Published Dec. 9, 2010 By Janie W. Santos Defense Media Activity-San Antonio SAN ANTONIO (AFNS) -- In his latest "Enlisted Perspective," the Air Force's top enlisted Airman highlights how the Air Force core values should guide all Airmen in rising to meet challenges of today as Congress considers changes to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. "As military men and women, the American people count on us to adhere to the laws of the land, and we now stand ready and able to follow any decisions made," said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James A. Roy. "The success of implementing any changes in policy rests on the shoulders of our Air Force senior leaders, commanders and the NCO corps. We're confident that as professional Airmen, we will let our core values guide us in meeting challenges resulting from any changes." Chief Roy also pointed out how integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do are anchors for Airmen to use. "Any compromise diminishes the character of our service," Chief Roy said. "The Air Force core values are what we live by, and they will continue to guide our standards." This viewpoint and other senior leader viewpoints can be found in the information section on AF.mil.
