Hi Jenny Ann,
Thank you for your question. If I may explain my code of honor.
When I was a boy, I had a hard time picking who my mentor would be, someone I respected and wanted to fashion my code of honor after.
When I joined the Boy Scouts, I adopted the Scout Laws, Scout Oath and the Scout Motto as the foundation for my Code of Honor. They follow if you would like to see them:
Scout Laws:
Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and reverend.
Scout Oath:
On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty, to god and to my country. To obey the scout laws, and to help other people at all times, to keep myself Psychically strong, Mentally awake, and Morally straight.
Scout Motto: Be prepared.
The above have served me well both in the military and in civilian life.
Good question,
Darryl S.

How about the Ten Commandments? In fact, I believe that's all the "law" we need. Example: "THOU SHALT NOT STEAL" is pretty self-explanatory. There is no disclaimer that says, "Thou shalt not steal UNLESS you're the President of the U.S.A. intent on waging revenge on Saddam Hussein by putting him to death, killing 700,000 of his countrymen, and stealing all of that nation's precious oil."
I'm far from perfect, but I think I have tried to live by that "Code of Honor" all my life. -RKO- 04/08/07

I don't. Honour is an outdated, tribalistic concept. I try to live in a way which will not harm others, but I wouldn't say there's any idea of honour assocuated with that.
