Emblem
A voided globe with Argent longitude and latitude lines is
surmounted over an ultramarine Azure disc. An opened Sable book with Argent
pages is placed at the honor point. A Gules aircraft followed by a Gules
contrail encircles the book from the page in a counter clockwise flight and
exits the disc at sinister chief. The disc is bordered with Or. An
ultimarine Azure scroll is attached below the disc. The scroll which is
bordered also with Or is blank. Ultramarine Blue and Air Force Yellow are
used in the design. Blue represents the sky, the primary theater of Air
Force operations. Yellow signifies the sun and the excellence required of
Air Force personnel. The globe symbolizes the positive worldwide influence
our graduates will provide after leaving our organization; the power of
educational excellence. The book depicts the training and the desire to
attain knowledge. The aircraft reminds us of the global reach through
training and the aerospace power that is the purpose of the Air Force.
