, being integral. Each of us is a single individual. We should act the same whether in uniform or out of uniform, the Core Values our constant guide. If cadets think they can follow the Core Values only when in uniform, they’re basically pretending to be two different people. They’re following "Sometimes Values," not CORE Values. They’re not being their whole self, they’re lacking integrity.

, having served in Vietnam from 1969–1973, he was adamant that he wear the Air Force-style uniform. So, he made the drive to Great Falls and I took him shopping at the Malmstrom AFB BX for all his uniform items.
With great pride, he once again wore the cloth of our country proudly, displaying his previously-earned ribbons and badges on his CAP uniform. Throughout this past decade, whenever I’d see him again at wing, region, or national events, he was always in perfect uniform, and he would openly share ... how he had to keep up with his PT in order to continue enjoying the privilege of wearing the AF-style uniform. He didn’t just wear the uniform correctly, he wore the correct uniform. That is, unlike some who seemingly ignore published dress codes and wind up either over- or under-dressing for the occasion, Ch.
