The honor concept

Midshipmen are persons of integrity. They stand for that which is right. They tell the truth and ensure that the truth is known. They do not lie.

They embrace fairness in all actions. They ensure that work submitted as their own is their own, and that assistance received from any source is authorized and properly documented. They do not cheat.

They respect the property of others and ensure that others are able to benefit from the use of their own property. They do not steal.

Midshipmen Ethos

We are united with our fellow midshipmen by the trust placed in us by the American people, our friends, and our families. Under a solemn oath, I accept the honor and privilege of supporting and defending our constitution. I strive to develop exceptional character through virtuous living in all I do. I will: consistently seek wisdom to learn that which is right, practice discipline to align my daily habits with my convictions, act with courage to uphold those convictions, and exercise the justice and fairness expected of a leader.
