If you do all this, you are on your way to a successful Air Force career. We've been through a number of exercises and inspections this year. Soon we'll be in the middle of even more like the Lead Mobility Wing exercise in April. Preparedness, or readiness, is very important to military members. It is essential for the Air Force, because the consequences of being unprepared could be catastrophic.
Fitness is part of being prepared.
In our quest to be physically and mentally fit, we sometimes overlook the need for spiritual fitness. It is just as important and to ignore it puts us in some peril. Complete fitness, wholeness or wellness, is a package deal that must include spiritual fitness. The goal of Lent is to improve spiritual fitness. Historically, Lent was a time of preparation and instruction leading to baptism.
