The physical fitness of the cadets of the Air Force Academy, which will protect the airspace of the Republic of Korea, is of paramount importance to fulfill the given mission. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to confirm the characteristics of body composition and physical fitness of female cadets of Air Force Academy and to verify their relationship with physical fitness according to body fat % level of total female cadets. To achieve the purpose of the study, 50 female cadets of the Korea Air Force Academy (1grade 13, 2grade 18, 3grade 9, 4grade 10) were measured in body composition (skeletal strength, body fat mass, body mass index, body fat %, abdominal obesity rate, basal metabolic rate) and physical fitness (muscle strength, muscular endurance, power, agility, flexibility and balance). One way ANOVA was performed for data processing to identify body composition and physical fitness characteristics by grade and to identify differences in physical fitness according to body fat rate levels. According to the study, the 1 grade was lower in body fat mass and body fat % among female cadets, the 2 grade was lower than the 3 and 4 grades, and the body mass index was lower than the third and fourth grades. Also, there was no difference in the physical fitness of the rest of the year. The intergroup physical fitness according to the body fat rate was higher than that of those with less than 20 percent of net worth and 25 percent to less than 25.1 percent to 30 percent, while those with less than 20 percent balance were higher than those with less than 25.1 to 30 percent. The results of this study showed differences in body composition by grade in female cadets, especially in power and balance according to body fat %. Therefore, female cadets of the Air Force Academy need to manage body fat to have the power and balance capability related to the airborne mission environment.

This study explores communication competence and satisfaction in interpersonal relationship according to MBTI personality patterns. Looking at the distribution of MBTI personality patterns among male cadets, number of ESTJ(16.7%) is the highest, For female cadets, the highest in number is ENFJ(16.7%). There is discrepancy in communication competence depends on personality patterns, in order to verify such disparity, LSD was applied as a post-verification. As a result, there was discrepancy in communication competence between E(extravert) and I(introvert), also in satisfaction in interpersonal relationship between E(extravert) and I(introvert). Correlation between communication competence and satisfaction in interpersonal relationship showed static relation(r=.604(p<.01). In conclusion, this study proves significant relation of communication competence and satisfaction in interpersonal relationship according to cadet's personality patterns statistically. Also this study is significant because it can indicate directions that needs to be taken for discipline of cadets.

This paper surveyed & analyzed the career path of the 586 female cadets who graduated from the Korea Maritime University. According to the analysis, 154 graduates have the seafaring experience onboard, while 432 have no chance to work onboard. The figure indicated that one of the challenge is the number of female maritime officers who can engage in the boarding works was relatively limited. However, it is significant implication that about 80% of the graduate have been employed in a maritime industry including shipping, shipbuilding, public sectors and etc.

The purpose of this study was to explore the regulations and operational problems of on-board training, and to investigate and analyze the satisfaction level of consignment on-board training among students who completed their training at Korea Maritime & Ocean University. In terms of satisfaction differences by gender, female students generally had a higher relative satisfaction level than male students. The different types of satisfaction in the navigation and engineering categories, the overall practical effect and satisfaction level of the training records shows that the satisfaction level of the trainee is much lower than that of the trainee, so relevant educational institutions and shipping companies need to take measures to improve the satisfaction level of this part. The most important part of the comprehensive company evaluation completed by trainees asked whether they thought the training was equivalent in labor to the employees. Results suggest shipping companies must make a clear distinction between employees and trainees, while establishing relevant internal procedures so that the on-board training process can be carried out in accordance with the purpose of the on-board training consignment.
