Personal courage entails which of the following?

• A. Staying silent in the face of wrongdoing.
• B. Following commands without question.
• C. Valuing personal safety over duty.
• D. Doing what's right even when risking one's career.

Answer: (D)

Personal courage is choosing to do what’s right even when it could cost you personally, such as risking your career. This shows moral courage and a commitment to duty over self-interest, which is exactly what upholds integrity and the mission. Staying silent in the face of wrongdoing isn’t courageous, blindly following orders isn’t true courage either, and valuing personal safety over duty undermines the responsibility you have to others and to the mission.
