The McConnell Elite Honor Guard is looking for individuals with a high military bearing and a professional image to represent the 22d Air Refueling Wing in this prestigious program. Our base Honor Guard was established to promote military tradition and history. It is a link between the past, present and future for military and community members.

Benefits of membership include:

• Leadership opportunities
• Community service
• Military training
• Travel opportunities
• Base-wide recognition

Handpicked to serve as a member of the McConnell 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.
