The study is designed to explore the effects of the Acceptance-Commitment Therapy (ACT) on Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC)' stress, anxiety, and acceptance. Among the total of 82 ROTC, total of 12 participants whom showed over-average scores for stress and anxiety and agreed to participate in study were selected. The ACT group received twice-weekly, approximately 90 minute, total of 8 sessions of ACT program Both groups filled out Perceived Stress Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire each before, at the end of, and 4 weeks after the program. The result showed that the group that participated in ACT program showed significant decrease in stress and anxiety, and although the overall acceptance behavior showed no significant change, the Acceptance - a subfactor of the scale - showed significant increase. This study suggest empirical evidence to prove that the ACT is effective in reducing stess and anxiety of ROTC. However, the study has only few ROTC participants and thus has limitations. Therefore it is crucial that future studies are conducted addressing this issue.

This study constructed a structural model and examined the fit and significance of the model to identify the influencing factors on the organizational commitment of ROTC cadets. The subjects of this study were 209 male students in grades 3 and 4 ROTC cadets of eight universities located in D, P, and G cities. Data were collected from April 13 to May 29, 2018. The data collected were analyzed by SPSS / WIN 20.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs. A positive correlation was observed between the ROTC instructor's leadership, self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. Six of the six pathways of the hypothetical structural model were statistically significant. The hypothetical model showed a good fit for the data. The model fit indices were ${\chi}^2/df=1.51$, GFI=.98, AGFI=.90, NFI=0.98, NFI=.97, RMR=.02, RMSEA=.05, and TLI=.98. The ROTC Instructor's leadership and self-efficacy had direct and indirect effects on the organizational commitment. Job satisfaction had the strongest direct influence on organizational commitment. This model explained 73% of the variance in organizational commitment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an effective education and intervention program that can enhance the ROTC instructor's leadership, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction to increase the organizational commitment of the ROTC cadets.

Weapon, command, and communication system have been continually developed in the Korean military since last several decades. However, it is always asked to make a more effort on improving the ability of combat capability through people in order to achieve and maximize military power. In terms of improving the battlefield leadership, this research focused on ROTC(Reserve Officers'Training Corps), because the training junior officers lays a great foundation on basic strength of the military. This study theoretically and empirically examined the ROTC's quality and effectiveness of leadership. The proposed research model and hypotheses are mainly composed of four factors: personality, esprit de corps, and professionalism as independent variables; leadership effectiveness as a dependent variable. The empirical result revealed that esprit de corps, professionalism, and personality have a meaningful influence on leadership effectiveness. It is suggested that an ongoing training and education program of leadership for ROTC should be applied for achieving a better leadership effectiveness on the battlefield.

In this paper, mandatory minimum requirements for certification of officers in charge of a navigational watch on ship by international convention on STCW (standards of training certification and watchkeeping for seafarers) were investigated. The training education and evaluation systems for navigational competence of Korean navy were compared and analyzed. As a result, we have confirmed that junior naval officers from Korean midshipmen had the navigational competence based on the STCW convention by analyzing the courses of Korea naval academy, midshipmen life, training exercise systems, and so on. OCS and NROTC provided a curriculum that did not quite meet the standard of the STCW convention. However, it was sufficient for nurturing basic abilities for navigation safety.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical activity participation habits, physical fitness level, and academic performance among the Reserve Military Training Corps (ROTC). Participants in the current study were 71 ROTCs from J University. Physical activity participation was investigated using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and the level of physical fitness was measured by health-related physical fitness evaluation. For academic performance, university grade data (GPA) was approved by the head of the relevant school district, and the data were collected with the consent of the participants, and each data was analyzed. The correlation between physical activity participation habits, physical fitness level, and GPA was analyzed, and GPA by physical fitness level were compared. This study found that there was no statistically significant correlation between physical activity participation and academic performance. Otherwise, there was a statistically significant correlation between major subjects and total physical fitness score, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. By the level of physical fitness, the ROTCs in the high-physical fitness group showed statistically significantly higher academic performance than the ROTCs in the low-physical fitness group. In addition, low level of physical fitness ROTC group was lower than the other. In conclusion, ROTCs with a high physical fitness level had a positive effect on improving learning ability compared to those who did not. By recommending an autonomous but systematic exercise training program, it is suggested to improve the physical strength of ROTCs and to cultivate excellent future military officers.

Because Korean military promotes employment support policy which give priority to the middle service officer who served more than 5 but less than 10 years and long term service officer who served more than 10 years, the support policy for obligated involuntary officer is relatively deficient. To make matters worse, national youth unemploy ment makes obligated involuntary officers suffer from serious unemployment crisis after discharge. These problems have bad effect on gaining ROTC KAOCS cadets who constitute about 80% of first appointment officers and because they are mostly discharged after just taking a short service, it's time to find a measure to solve the problem. Thus, this study is investigated to improve competitive rate of entry of ROTC KAOCS for securing outstanding manpower by deducing MR about legislation and system which are related to employment support for obligated involuntary officers and suggesting stable job secure plan for employment support, supplement system, and after discharge, model way of career management during military service of an obligated involuntary officers who are suitable for qualificated men who are needed for a company. Also, it will lead to combat power development of the military consequently.

This study was conducted to compare physical fitness, self-esteem, organizational commitment and transformational leadership among non-smoker and smoker ROTC cadets. This study used 425 questionnaires from male grade 3 and 4 ROTC cadets of 12 universities located in P city and G-do. Data were collected from May 1 to June 23, 2017. The data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 23.0 using a ${\chi}^2-test$, independent t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Running 3km (t=3.26, p=0.046), self-esteem (t=1.06, p=0.003), organizational commitment (t=2.57, p<0.001) and transformational leadership (t=3.98, p<0.001) were significantly lower in the smoking group than the non-smoking group. There was a positive correlation between self-esteem, organizational commitment, and transformational leadership in both non-smokers and smokers. Therefore, to practice smoking cessation for the health promotion of ROTC cadets smokers, it is necessary to develop an effective education and intervention program that can enhance self-esteem, organizational commitment and transformational leadership.
