The USAF Base Honor Guard Program is a mandatory Air Force program and is the responsibility of the installation commander. Participation has always been voluntary, selections generally coming from the installations airman basic to technical sergeant pool. The base honor guard emphasizes the importance of military customs and courtesies, dress and appearance and drill and ceremonies.
Honor Guard Creed
H - Handpicked to serve as a member of the Patrick AFB Honor Guard, my standards of conduct and level of professionalism must be above reproach, for I represent all others in my service. O - Others earned the right for me to wear the ceremonial uniform, one that is honored in rich tradition and history. I will honor their memory by wearing it properly and proudly. N - Never will I allow my performance to be dictated by the type of ceremony, severity of temperature, or size of the crowd. I will remain superbly conditioned to perfect all movements throughout every drill and ceremony. O - Obligated by my oath I am constantly driven to excel by a deep devotion to duty and a strong sense of dedication. R - 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.
