A NAVAL AVIATOR'S CREED

I am a United States Naval Aviator.

My countrymen built the best airplane in the world and entrusted it to me. They trained me to fly it. I will use it to the absolute limit of my power.

With my fellow pilots, aircrews, and deck crews, my plane and I will do anything necessary to carry out our tremendous responsibilities. I will always remember we are part of an unbeatable combat team the United States Navy.

When the going is fast and rough, I will not falter. I will be uncompromising in every blow I strike. I will be humble in victory.

I am a United States Navy flyer. I have dedicated myself to my country, with its many millions of all races, colors, and creeds. They and their way of life are worthy of my greatest protective effort.

I ask the help of God in making that effort great enough.

For Lieutenant Molly Boron, who graduated from the Naval Academy in 1995, Fighter Squadron 101, NAS Oceana, Va., is her first squadron after completing the training command syllabus. To her, "flying gray airplanes is awesome." As she prepares for her first cat and trap aboard a carrier in an F-14 Tomcat, she recalls the most memorable moment in her young career.

"The first time walking out to this huge airplane--coming from the training command flying little tiny jets--I was saying, 'I can't believe I'm doing this.' It really hit me when I was taxiing for the first time out to the runway, as the plane was bouncing up and down I was thinking, 'I cannot believe I am sitting in an F-14 right now. This is my dream, this is what I've been waiting for.'"
