What is the student honorary code?

• A. Soldiers will not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate those who do.
• B. Soldiers will always tell the truth to their chain of command.
• C. Soldiers must report misconduct only when convenient.
• D. Soldiers should keep personal conduct private.

Answer: (A)

Integrity and accountability drive the student honorary code. It sets a clear standard that Soldiers will not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate those who do. This broad commitment protects trust within the unit and creates a culture where misconduct is not ignored, whether it’s a personal action or something done by others.

The other statements fall short because they narrow or contradict that standard: telling the truth to the chain of command is important, but it focuses only on who you tell rather than the broader expectation to live honestly and to hold others accountable. Reporting misconduct only when convenient undermines the duty to uphold Army standards at all times. Keeping personal conduct private misses the aspect of modeling honorable behavior in every situation.
