 * Military time: Time management as a success factor among military students taking an online course**

There are many success factors that a military college student must adapt and use effectively in order to graduate. The military students face tremendous pressure while participating in distance education classes as well as actively serving our country. The research questions of this study intended to analyze main time management strategies and organizational tools as a success factor that the military students use to maintain satisfactory academic performance while being involved in their military service and personal/family responsibilities.

This research was conducted among active military personnel currently participating as online students in Blackboard learning management system. The success factors were defined to establish the boundaries for measurement and research analysis. Military students (N=20) completed a survey questionnaire that assessed their familiarity and usage of various time management tools and organizational learning strategies that they proactively used in their daily study preparations. Taken together, results from this study provide some insight into the complex relations between the usage of time management tools and techniques and the academic results achieved by the military student in a distance education class.
