  • Cadet Standards and Duties Instruction
    BY ORDER OF THE AIR FORCE CADET WING INSTRUCTION 36-3501 COMMANDANT OF CADETS 12 AUGUST 2020 Personnel CADET STANDARDS AND DUTIES COMPLIANCE WITH THIS INSTRUCTION IS MANDATORY ACCESSIBILITY: Publications and forms are available on CWVV SharePoint site. 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).
