RELEASABILITY: There are no restrictions on release of this publication. OPR: CWVV Certified by: CWV (Col Clarence W. Lukes) Supersedes: All previous AFCWIs & AFCWGMs Pages: 277 The importance of the Air Force’s mission and inherent responsibility to the Nation requires its members to follow higher standards than those expected in civilian life. As Airmen, we are proud of our high standards. Through self-discipline, we adhere to them, and we hold our fellow Airmen accountable to follow our standards. This is part of who we are and what we do as members of the Profession of Arms. Prior to entering the Cadet Wing, each cadet takes two solemn oaths; the Oath of Office and the Honor Oath. Both of these include a commitment to perform one’s duty; “… I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter,” and “Furthermore, I resolve to do my duty and to live honorably, (so help me God).” The Cadet Standards Instruction codifies the duties of a cadet at the Air Force Academy. This instruction implements AFPD 36-35, United States Air Force Academy and AFPD 36-29, Military Standards. It applies to cadets assigned to the Air Force Cadet Wing (AFCW), and Cadet Wing (CW) personnel identified within this instruction. It is written to foster an environment in which each cadet's duty concept is developed and strengthened through the Officer Development System (ODS). It provides expectations and guidance, and outlines minimum acceptable performance standards. The omission of subject matter does not constitute authorization to participate in an activity or conduct oneself in a manner that discredits the Profession of Arms. In the absence of written or oral instructions, or when unable to determine proper course of action, cadets should seek guidance from the chain of command. Violations of this instruction may be punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) (including, but not limited to, Article 92) and the Cadet Disciplinary System (CDS). Requests for waivers must be processed through command channels to the publication OPR for consideration. Refer recommended changes about this publication to the office of primary responsibility (OPR) using the AF Form 847, Recommendation for Change of Publication.
