This list have been around at least since I joined the Army in 99 and I imagine it's been around for much longer than that. Is it time for a tweak or is it a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"?
Loyalty - Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit and other soldiers.
Duty - Fulfill your obligations.
Respect - Treat people as they should be treated.
Selfless Service - Put the welfare of the nation, the Army, and your subordinates before your own.
Honor - Live up to all the Army values.
Integrity - Do what’s right, legally and morally.
Personal Courage - Face fear, danger, or adversity [physical or moral.]

None. Whether it was deliberate or not I don't know, but the first letters of the values make it easy to remember because it is LeaDeRSHIP.

Are the core values still Loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor , integrity and personal courage? That’s what they were when I was in a long time ago. Just checking to see if they have changed any of them over time.

Lists tend to get bigger. And bigger. And bigger... ACE reports becomes LACE reports, METT-T becomes METT-TC and before you know it, you'll one day have XABALACEFST reports and METT-TC-XYZ-ABCG considerations that are bigger than OPORDs. So, I'd think about consolidating some things in lists.
Duty and Selfless-Service seem to me to have a lot of overlap on the Venn diagram. I'd combine them. Also, I think Personal Courage is a function or effect of values and priorities, but it is so important that I'd keep it separate as it's own element. I'd tie the Values to the Warrior Ethos, as well, discuss both in the same block of instruction.

"Good ideas"
Great for adding bullets to the old OER.
In all seriousness though, it's pretty great overall.
