On 28th Oct. 2003, the JAAGA secretariats Ochi and Hachiya carried out
the lecture about national security etc. at Professor Shikata's seminar
at Teikyo University. Although this association has recommended the university
students to visit U.S. military bases (like Yokota AB), there was the strong
request that USFJ wants to give a lecture by going to a university from
U.S. side. When we received this proposal from USFJ, we asked of Professor
Shikata who is also a SDFs' big senior (Lt.General, JGSDF retired), he
soon accepted and it became progress of realization in the busy schedule
on 28th Oct.. However, U.S. side had an important conference suddenly,
when it offered as since the lecturer dispatch including proxy became difficult,
if Ochi and Hachiya are sufficient, it was consented readily and the lecture
was carried out. Secretariat Ochi became best opening to consider and speak
about the knowledge of active-duty dates based on experience of Tsubasa-Kai's
U.S. tour this year, visiting Guam with PACAF invitation, the visit to
China for a member of the China Politics & Economics Conference (Self
Defense Forces alumnus), etc. Based on the experience as the military attache
to Israel, secretariat Hachiya carried out the lecture which analyzed keenly
the high situation in the Middle East of students' concern. Whole student
was able to be especially boiled in the noted solution to a student's eager
question based on experience of the liaison office chief of Air Staff Office. According
to Professor Shikata, there are many lecture requests about the national
and international security also from the student side, and he had gone
out more often by the request from every place in the past several years. In
addition, the sharp change of our country's security circumstance gave
me the view that there is a thing secure as those who have been engaged
in defense for years. Even the dinner party was prepared to two us after
the lecture closure, and the talk rose further. Later on, Professor Shikata
to "student's reaction was greatest. The thing which a student wants
to know is learning the defense as real study from the Self Defense official
who played an active part in the FEBA of defense instead of the rationale
of a high security. Encouragement with " was received. (Reported by
