ABSTRACT
This chapter attempts to assemble a number of those that are typically left out from other texts on the topic of ethics and the reader will hopefully gain insight into other areas of public service to which the topic of ethics is of importance. It serves as an impetus to seek out other careers of applicability and apply the concepts discussed within the confines of this text to those fields. The necessity for military personnel to make ethical decisions has far-reaching consequences. As with many of the professions dedicated to public service, social work has a mission that is rooted in a set of core values. The Firefighter Code of Ethics is a recommended Code of Ethics intended to mitigate and negate situations that may result in embarrassment and waning of public support for what has historically been a highly respected profession.
