They raised their right hands. Now the responsibility shifts to us. 🇺🇸
Future service members took the oath in ATX. For those joining our @usairforce, AETC will turn that commitment into capability. It starts in #TheFirstCommand. @SecWar | @DeptofWar

Strong teams look out for each other.
Trust. Accountability. The courage to speak up. Those habits strengthen our #Airmen and protect the mission.
#TheFirstCommand
National Insider Threat Awareness Month is a reminder that the strongest defense against insider threats is a culture of trust, early reporting, and shared responsibility for one another and the mission.

The U.S. Air Force remembers and honors those Americans who were prisoners of war and those who served and never returned home.
You are not forgotten.

Training builds the judgment, technical skill, and teamwork #Airmen need when the mission gets hard!

You train for the day you hope never comes.
Shot down. Injured. Alone behind enemy lines for 50 hours.
Dude 44 Bravo’s story is a powerful reminder of why we train Airmen to survive, adapt and keep going when everything goes wrong.
