What is a Fighter Pilot?• A fighter pilot is noted for intelligence, independence, integrity,
courage, and patriotism.
• "Fighter Pilot" is a state of mind, not a job title.
• Therefore, not all people who fly fighters are fighter pilots, nor
do all fighter pilots fly fighters, some of them are coaches, players, band members, or truck drivers -

Integrity
Etymology of Integrity
INTEGRITY - SOUNDNESS OF MORAL PRINCIPLE AND CHARACTER - UPRIGHTNESS - HONESTY. INTEGRITY IS ALSO AN IDEAL ... A GOAL TO STRIVE FOR ... AND FOR A MAN OR WOMAN TO "WALK IN THEIR INTEGRITY" IS TO REQUIRE CONSTANT DISCIPLINE AND USAGE.
THE WORD INTEGRITY ITSELF IS A MARTIAL WORD THAT COMES TO US FROM AN ANCIENT ROMAN ARMY TRADITION.
With Integrity - Nothing Else With Integrity - Nothing Else Matters Matters
Without Integrity - Nothing Else Without Integrity - Nothing Else MattersMatters
Failed Leadership = Failed Integrity
“Integrity is doing what is right when no one else is watching”
Perception can equal reality!
When Your Integrity is Tested
The Ethical Action Test
• Is it legal?• Does it comply with our rules and guidelines? • Is it in sync with our organizational values? • Will I be comfortable and guilt-free if I do it?• Does it match our stated commitments and guarantees?
The Ethical Action Test - Cont
• Would I do it to my family or friends? • Would I do it in front of my boss, my family or friends?• Would I be perfectly okay with someone doing it to me? • Would the most ethical person I know do it?
Providing the Tools for the Mission
INTEGRITY
Loyalty
• Loyalty—faithfulness to superiors, peers, to the team and subordinates…display an unquestionable sense of loyalty before they can expect members of their unit to be loyal.

from the bottom to the top. Loyalty from the top down is even more necessary and much less prevalent.“ – Gen. George Patton

“ The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to
their commitment to excellence, regardless of

Failed Leader!!!
"The winner [or success of an air battle or a sports event, a musical event, a play or anything you do] may have been determined by the amount of time, energy, thought and training an individual has previously accomplished in an effort to increase his ability as a fighter pilot." or your ability as a player…
Commander Randy "Duke" Cunningham, USN
Jet Ace No Longer a Leader – he forgot about
“integrity”!
Congressman Cunningham resigned from the House in 2005 - pleaded guilty to accepting at least $2.4 million in bribes. In March 2006, he received a sentence of eight years and four months in prison and an order to pay $1.8 million in restitution.
“Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control.”
