I will obtain my primary research through my survey and interviewing of military members and their families directly, as well as contacting the resources available to military members and their families for questioning. As for secondary research, I will use the online and printed information provided from the government directly as well as written testimonials and discussions for reference. I will also use research that has been made from other students or scholars who have conducted research on this topic or similar ones.
Although I will find that my secondary research will prove to be helpful, the majority of my focus during my research will stem from the response I receive from those I survey and interview directly. I believe that the response I receive from the honest conversations with fellow military families will prove to be the most helpful for me in guiding the focus of my research. With the use of social media as a tool, I believe I will not only be able to reach people who I know personally that could provide me with good feedback, but I can also reach people I do not know through exclusive social media groups such as “Oahu Military Spouses,” and “San Diego Military Spouses,” etc., which both contain over 1,000 members (increasing daily) if they could answer the survey I have created as well as provide any feedback they may have for
