Air Force Core Value portrayed: Integrity First

How does the individual portray the core value? Integrity forms the foundation of one’s character. If you have integrity in everything you do, it will not only improve your life but those around you. I was raised in a large close knit family where my father instilled the importance of honesty and owning one’s mistakes, which I’ve carried throughout my Air Force career.
