摘要：It is a common adage in the Air Force that Airmen are the service’s most valuable strength. Air Force doctrine echoes this statement; however, it neglects to adequately define an Airman’s most important asset –time – as the finite resource that it is.1 With fiscal challenges ahead, and a continuing reduction in the Total Force planned through 2017, the Air Force must manage all of its resources effectively and efficiently, carrying this theme into an institutionalized vision of time and time management.2 This institutionalized vision must include a definition of time and the organization’s desired perception of time across the force. The vision must also explore the balance between duty time and personal/family time to help Airmen cope with the job demands of contingency operations, physical fitness, and personal and professional development.
