Honor Concept

Midshipmen are persons of integrity:

We stand for that which is right.

We tell the truth and ensure that the full truth is known.

We do not lie.

We embrace fairness in all actions. We ensure that work submitted as our own is our own, and that assistance received from any source

is authorized and properly documented.

We do not cheat.

We respect the property of others and ensure that others are able to benefit from the use of their own property.

We do not steal.

Ethos

My fellow Midshipmen and I are united by our oath to defend the Constitution and by the sacred trust placed

in us by the American people. I will earn this trust.

I align my actions with the values of honor, courage, and commitment. I recognize the strength of my team, and am committed to the

fair treatment of all. I hold myself and others accountable to the highest standard. I will embody integrity.

I intentionally seek challenges to forge my character, owning my failures and improving each day. I exercise moral, mental, and

physical discipline today, so that I will be prepared to lead on the battlefields of tomorrow.

I will earn this trust, embody integrity, and stand ready to lead throughout conflict.
