Every person has a set of values that they live by and what they fall back on to make decisions in their every day life. The United States Army has a set of core values that every soldier whether enlisted or officer alike has instilled in them at the begging of their career and follows them through out the rest of their life. The Seven core values, Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal courage also know by the acronym LDRSHIP is what every soldier lives by and makes daily life decisions based off of them. The effectiveness of the American Army is because these values are at the heart of the soldier and allows him to fight in any operation. The first of the seven Core Army Values is loyalty. Loyalty, according to the army, is bearing true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit, and other soldiers a like. Loyalty is necessary when deploying over seas. A loyal soldier is an effective soldier. It means that he puts aside his personal life and is motivated to the cause at hand. This is why loyalty makes and unit more effective. It is what brings soldiers together, because if they know that they can rely on the man next to him then they can accomplish any mission no matter how difficult. If loyalty is not present in a unit then they can’t be mission ready and won’t be effective in the field. The second of the core values is duty. Duty is more than that of doing your single job it is making sure that everyone on
The Total Soldier uses the army Values in both his army career and also when he is not at work recognizing that he is always an ambassador for the army and the military as a whole to the civilian population. He or she is loyal to both there country and there fellow comrades that fight the same fight as they do on a daily bases. They put the mission first before there personal needs knowing
In the United States Army we are taught to live by the Seven Army Values. They are broken down to us in the acronym ‘LDRSHIP’ which is short for Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. We are all taught these 7 Army values repeatedly from day one in the United States Army. First we memorize these values. Then we are trained to live by them. All of these 7 values coincide with each other, and play an important roll in our Army lives. These 7 Army Values also play well into life outside the Army in our personal life. People sometimes do not realize the importance these values have on the way we are viewed by the people who look up to the men and woman who are privileged enough to represent the
Honor, Respecting the ones in charge. Courage, making good decisions. Commitment, having fair treatment to all. Joining JROTC was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. I see the world way differently than when I was younger. Honor, Courage, Commitment, three simple, yet, the most important core values I try to follow on a daily basis. Being honorable, not only telling the truth, but also, being respectful to the authorities. Courage, not only being brave, but making good decisions will help you become a better leader. Commitment, coming together as a T.E.A.M, together everyone achieves more. Three things I will always remember to follow are there Navy core values, honor, courage, commitment. I am honorable at all times, commitment to work together, and having the courage to make good decisions. I am a South Side, Navy, JROTC, Cadet and I'm very proud on who I've became. Oh yes, I
The very basis for my leadership philosophy starts and ends with the Army Values. I ensure each and every decision I make aligns with these core values. In 2007, after first pinning on Sergeant, I was in a position of limited leadership experience and charged with the health and welfare of three Soldiers. By utilizing past experiences and understanding the young Soldiers point of view, I developed the foundation of my Leadership Philosophy, the
In the US army we are taught to live by the 7 army values. They are broken down to us in the acronym ‘LDRSHIP’. Loyalty “Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. constitution, the Army, and other soldiers.” Duty “Fulfill your obligations.” Respect “Treat people as they should be treated.” Selfless Service “Put the welfare of the nation, the Army and your subordinates above your own.” Honor “Live up to the army values.”
Honor, Courage, and Commitment are not just values I learned in boot camp. They are the guiding principles and morale’s that were instilled in me by my grandfather as a child and by my faith as an adult. Being privileged to the role of a naval officer its essential, that we not only understand these values but that they become our way of life.
The bold introductory quote above contains 2 assumptions: first, that an organisation’s core values can be ‘rooted in the moral and social development of our society over many generations’; and second, organisational values can influence the motivations of individuals. If these assumptions are true, it would follow that organisational core values have a fundamental role to play in any successful organisation. However, outside of initial training establishments and glossy strategy documents, RAF core values have not enjoyed a profile commensurate with the significance and potential alluded to above. What are core values; are they enduring? What effect do societal values have on organisations, given that organisations draw their members from society? A quick ‘google’ search on the subject of core values reveals a plethora of different subjects ranging from personal development, sociology, anthropology, psychology,
As an individual in the Army you have the duty of being a soldier but as a leader you have to be a soldier and a leader. Without being a soldier you cannot accomplish your duty as a leader. Being a leader in the Army is a duty in itself. You could say that you have 2 duties. That is why these two are closely related to each other. Another Army value that would go together with duty would be selfless service. Selfless service is the act of putting once self before a particular group. The group that we as soldiers put ourselves before is the citizens of our country and other counties that need our assistance such as Iraq and Afghanistan. It is the value that would instill duty in us as a soldier. Without selfless service, we would not be in the Army performing our duties today. I don’t think I need to state and example because is already something we doing by being in the military. The last Army value that would relate to duty would be personal courage. Personal courage is the act of actually having the strength, physically and mentally, to perform your duties as a soldier. I think it is the most important value next to duty. Without personal courage you would not be able to pick up a weapon to defend this country which is our primary as soldiers. It facilitates our responsibilities as soldiers. Without it we would not have the courage to be at our appointed place of duty. Duty is not just related to our Army values. It is also defined the Soldier’s

Every organization, both large and small, will typically have a well-defined set of values that they wish to espouse. This is the template for a successful, trained work force. These values will guide individuals during the decision-making processes that they will encounter. This blue print helps to ensure the integrity of the company and the individual, as well. Our Army today is no different. We can find our values and creeds everywhere we turn. One quick trip to a company or battalion headquarters will yield all the information a Soldier ever needs to assist them in making ethical choices. We hang posters touting the seven Army values on every wall. Units will prominently display the

Air Force Core Values The U.S Air Force has certain Core Values of which are used to maintain a standard. These values help establish a starting point, a snapshot of what it takes to complete the task at hand. As portrayed in the little blue book of Air Force Standards, “They are the common bond among all comrades in arms, and they are the glue that unifies the Force and ties us to the great warriors and public servants of the past.” But what are these Core Values? Why are they important?
Overall I know that my experience has shaped me into the leader that I am today. I know my job better and confident in my abilities, because I have the drive to improve myself. I now have the skill sets I need to perform at my peak performance in any situation I find myself in. I have taken the time to read, train, and thoroughly ins and outs of my job. Any Soldier that wants to take their career to its highest potential, and distinguish themselves from their peers should take this approach. I am now a Staff Sergeant, after four years from the mission. Learning about my strength and weaknesses throughout my career, helped me to strive for excellence. If you want to provide your unit with the leadership they need and deserve, then you
Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. The army values are a way of life. An officer should be the living image of them. They are the standards that every and any soldier should be living.
