Source

I found a source about cadets that live on college campuses. http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/pdf?vid=2&hid=7&sid=396652d2-f464-4c73-a497-780eb27de422%40sessionmgr10 It is an online article and the link above brings you to it. It helps out a lot because it is answering some of my questions and gives me statistics about cadets. The article states that 9/11 caused a big increase in cadets at colleges. It supplies the numbers of this increase as well. This information gives me something to use as to answer my questions of why cadets join. There is one downfall though. The article is only about the Army ROTC so I could only use it to talk about the Army, not any of the other branches. I still believe it will be a good source though.

Research

For the research aspect of my project, the main things I will be researching would be the cadets and other schools that have a strong military base. These would provide the most relevance to my topic and project. It will allow me to learn more about the cadets through the years as well as give me some outlook on what cadets at other schools are like. I more likely will be getting most of my information on these subjects from articles and online databases rather than actual books. Learning about this will allow me to get more of a better understanding from the past and then will form a conjunction to what the interviews tell me about the present.
