no and no. Reserve units are all stateside. the colleges that have satellite campuses on base do not offer any extracurricular activities.. no sports, ROTC, drama or the like.

I was a Rotary Exchange student in HS. See if they offer a Japan option. All you have to do is fill out the application, do an interview and pay for your plane ticket.

She could talk to her school administrators about being a foreign exchange student, but she will still have to complete her highschool requirements in the US. That means she will have to double up on courses to complete them ontime or spend an extra year in school. Either way, the foreign experience will be worth it.
3 :
Rotary is a good option, but you have to be accepted for the program after the application and interview process. Also, you are assigned a country; you don't get to choose. If your daughter decides to try this route, make sure she's up on current events, both national and international.
4 :
Rotary is definitely an option. If your daughter wants to attend an international school, there are plenty to choose from in the Tokyo area. All courses are taught in English since these schools are mainly set up for expatriates' children. One of more popular and bigger ones in Tokyo is the American School in Japan. www.asij.ac.jp

A dohyo is 5.40m x 5.40m http://www.sumoforum.net/glossary.html#D just under 18 feet on a side. Allowing the same space for audience all the way around would make a mimimum of 56 feet on a side. Cheating a bit, if the sides of the box are to be the walls of the room, then making it 48 feet on a side would allow 1:48 scale. If your plan was to make it lift out of the box to show the outside, then 1:87 or HO scale might be a good choice.

I was a military police officer stationed in Japan, which meant I was also at their hospitals very frequently in regards to incidents such as traffic accidents. I was not at all impressed with the Japanese health care system. Their hospitals were DIRTY, people were crammed several to a room with no privacy, people were smoking in the hallways while dragging their IV drip behind them, and the japanese do not use anesthetic for things that I would feel they should - such as stitches, setting a broken bone...(At the dentist they didn't use it for fillings....)it really was like going back 60 years in time over there. I vowed to myself I never wanted to end up in the Japanese health care system. BUT - on the flip side - I LOVED the country, I loved the people, I loved the culture, I loved it there. It was a WONDERFUL place to go and one of the best experiences of my life.
