Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne told airmen at Incirlik AB, Turkey on a visit there last week that the idea behind the Air Force’s upcoming personnel cuts is not to work the remaining personnel harder but smarter. Talking specifically about the 200-slot cut at Incirlik, Wynne said: “It is not that you used to work a 40-hour week and now you work a 55-hour week. … We want to cut the 200 slots and now you’re working a 39-hour week with one hour to plan for the future.”
The Air Force plans to offer virtual enlisted Foundations courses Airmen can take at their convenience as part of a larger effort to modernize enlisted professional military education, or EPME.
