A quote from Adm. Mullen:
"Threats to our security are coming from places we aren't necessarily accustomed to. We just can't be a predictable force anymore. But I know unpredictability, like what we need in the Fleet Response Plan today, causes more uncertainty for our families. One of the best ways to reduce that uncertainty is by telling our people what we know just as soon as we know it." (Ombudsman Quality Management Board, 25 July 2005 at the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md.)
And another:
"Without the support of our families - and, without SUPPORTING them in return - we cannot hope to sustain Combat Readiness. We owe our Sailors and their families the very best Quality of Life we can offer. " (Before the Senate Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, 28 March 2007)
