"I, [Full Name], having been appointed a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter. So help me God."

For many years, it has been a U.S. Air Force tradition for a newly commissioned officer to give a silver dollar to the first enlisted member who salutes them. The early custom likely traces back to early British forces, where enlisted members taught new officers unit traditions and were given a dollar in return forming the basis of today's first salute tradition.

• Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
• Climbing high into the sun;
• Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
• At ‘em now, Give 'em the gun!
• Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
• Off with one helluva roar!
• We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!
• Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

• We're the mighty watchful eye,
• Guardians beyond the blue,
• The invisible front line,
• Warfighters brave and true.
• Boldly reaching into space,
• There's no limit to our sky.
• Standing guard both night and day,
• We're the Space Force from on high.
