RIFLE CREED

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life; I must master it as I must master
my life.
My rifle, without me is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire
my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill
me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will.
My rifle and myself know that what counts in war is not the rounds we
fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is
the hits that count. We will hit.
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a
brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories,
its sight and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravage of weather
and damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and
ready. We will become part of each other. We will.
Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of
my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my
life.
So be it, until there is no enemy, but Peace!
DESIDERATA
BY MAX EHRMANN

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace
there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on
good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull
and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If
you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for
always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your
own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing
fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for
high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about
love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as
the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things
of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not
distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue
and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child
of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to
be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding
as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive
Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy
confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful
world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
DON’T QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the struggle has given up

When he might have captured the victor’s cup.

And he learned too late, when the night came down,

How close he was to the golden crown,
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit

KNOWLEDGES

“We the Trainees, do not lie, cheat, steal nor tolerate among us those who do”

TWO BASIC QUESTIONS

 Do I intend to deceive?
 Do I intend to take undue advantage?
If I answer NO to the both questions, I’m doing the HONORABLE thing sir.

MILITARY PORFESSIONALISM
BY CHARLES DE GAULLE

Men who adopt the profession of arms

submit their own free will to a law of perpetual constraint,
of their own accord they reject their rights to live where they choose;
to say what they think;
to dress as they like from the moment they become soldiers.

It needs but an order to settle them in this place

to move them to that, to separate them from their families
and dislocate their normal life.

In the world of Command, they must Rise, March, Run,

Endure bad weather, Go without sleep or food,
be isolated in some distant post
work until they drop.

They have ceased to be the master of their own faith,

if they drop in their tracks,
if their ashes scattered to the four winds,
that is all PART AND PARCEL OF THEIR JOB.

PLEDGE OF LOYALTY
BY ELBERT KIM HUBBARD
 If you work for a man in heavens name, work for him,
Speak well of him and standby the institution he represents,
Remember an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness,
If you must growl, condemn and eternally find fault,
why resign from your position, and
when you are in the outside damn to your heart content
But as long as you are part of the institution
Do not condemn it. If you do, the first wind that comes along,
Will blow you away and probably you will never know why.

Lupang Hinirang

Bayang Magiliw, Perlas ng Silanganan

Alab ng Puso sa dibdib mo'y buhay
 Lupang Hinirang, Duyan ka ng magiting,
Sa manlulupig di ka pasisiil.
Sa dagat at bundok,
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,
May dilag ang tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal.
Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y
Tagumpay na nagniningning;
Ang bituin at araw niya
Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim.
Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta,
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;
Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo.

PHILIPPINE AIR FORCE HYMN LYRICS

BY LTC SAMUEL O SARMIENTO
To the guardians of our precious skies
We sing this grateful song
As they lay their lives in sacrifice
To keep our ramparts strong

May their strength descend from God on high

Our constant guiding light
May their efforts prosper as they try
To build the Air Force might

When they rise to meet the enemy

Or help to clear our shores
May they fly and fight courageously
With dedicated force

When our warriors streak across the sky

To signal victory
We salute them all who fight and fly
To keep our nation free
