Integrity and the Army ethics are our foundation and it is up to us to build upon that foundation and make sure it can be used as an example for others to follow whose foundation may have become unstable and need to be reinforced. This means we should have unquestionable integrity, honor, respect, and be selfless. This in turn should show that the army values, the army ethics, have a direct correlation with not only the type of man or woman you will become but
