Squadron 3 takes its namesake from the fastest flying flight demonstration team in the world, the Air Force Thunderbirds, who demonstrate precision and excellence with every flight. Just like them we strive to be “Only The Best” in everything we do in order to make us the most well rounded cadets and students in the Corps. As Thunderbirds, we hold ourselves accountable to the Air Force Core Values: “Integrity first; Service before self; Excellence in all we do.” This helps us breed an environment of success for our cadets within the Corps, the classroom, the community, as well as other organizations and positions throughout the Texas A&M campus; preparing leaders for the military or civilian world.
