Honor Guard Charge
Handpicked to serve as a member of
the Vandenberg Air Force Base Honor
Guard, my standards of conduct and
level of professionalism must be above
reproach, for I represent all others in
my service.
Others earned the right for me to wear
the ceremonial uniform, one that is
honored in a rich tradition and history.
I will honor their memory by wearing
it properly and proudly.
Never will I allow my performance to
be dictated by the type of ceremony,
severity of the temperature, or size
of the crowd. I will remain superbly
conditioned to perfect all movements
throughout every drill and ceremony.
Obligated by my oath I am constantly
driven to excel by a deep devotion to
duty and a strong sense of dedication.
Representing every member, past
and present, of the United States Air
Force, I vow to stand sharp, crisp, and
motionless, for I am a Ceremonial
Guardsman
