Honor Code

“We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does.“

Understanding of Form 2

Form 2 is the Officer Leadership Attributes form, looking at five different categories of attrivutes. Candidates are given +1 for appropriately demonstrating the respective trait, -1 for not appropriately demonstrating the respective trait, and N/0 for not observed. The sum of the five categories must be at least +1 to pass.

The five categories include: professionalism, communication, warfighting, leadership, and mission execution. 

Each has five sub-traits under it. Professionalism is: perseverance, flexibility, resilience, self-control, and change management. Communication is: communication, teamwork, develops people, service mindset, and fosters inclusion. Warfighting is: information seeking, initiative, analytical thinking, digital literacy, and creative thinking. Leadership is: decision-making, fosters innovation, influence, strategic thinking, and moral/physical courage. Mission execution is: accountability, resource management, results-focused, precision, and hardiness of spirit.
