I am an USAF kid and the Air Force is the most polite group you will ever see.
USAF Active duty, retired, families are polite and well mannered.
When we returned to the US after serving overseas we could not get over how rude, ill mannered, and racist American civilians were.
Even today if I meet an Air Force family I immediately totally relax.
They have my back.
