It was a very sequential, very redundant process. And we found through Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom that the forces weren't getting to the theater fast enough.

That ensures that people pretty much know when they are going and when they are coming back. It gives them predictability. And if you have predictability, you're able to plan. It's a big part of reducing stress on the force.

We're generating rotation plans well over a year in advance. We've gone from two months to well over 14 months.

When you truly sing, you sing yourself free. When you truly dance, you dance yourself free. When you walk in the mountains or swim in the sea, again, you set yourself free.

The Christian is free from all other human beings. He does not have to live over against others, controlled by their actions and responses. Rather, he lives according to Christ's commands. This is Christian freedom. It is a freedom unknown by others. It is not just when others do the things that we like that we act properly toward them; we are free to do good even when they don't because our actions are not dependent on their responses. It is the Lord Christ when we serve!
