A situation gently reminded of my values earlier this week. I stopped in at AT&T to change my phone number and started chatting with the sales rep who attends a local college. The conversation was very pleasant. The young man said that he hoped to one day join the Army, but is not currently able because of civilian schooling obligations. I took the Army values card I received in basic training out of my pocket and showed him.
I found myself intently trying to listen to the young man tell me about how he arrived in the city. I empathized with his motivation and his unwavering commitment to serve.
Another situation reminded me again today about values. So, I figured I'd ask y'all about your values. I may have asked this question before. I cannot remember.

The AF Core values are:
Integrity First
Service before self
Excellence in all we do.
I've always prided myself on integrity. I didn't learn it from the military. I learned it from my parents. I'm human, but as a general rule I always try to do the right thing, whether someone else sees it or not.

Integrity. You have to be able to truly believe a person you are dealing with. Once you loose it it is very hard to regain it.

If we are talking about the those listed in the Army values acronym (LDRSHIP), I would have to go with Duty. As long as one holds true to their duty then everything else falls in behind it. It is one's duty to act in accordance with the UCMJ, the remainder of the military values, the civil laws, and everything else. Even conduct can fall under duty.

I tend to fall back on the Army values acronym for most things. Occasionally, I look to other values. RP is a military networking type of website. I expect many answers to be associated with branch services values. But the individual's values don't have to be that in answering this question. I appreciate your response.
