Problem:
For the first assignment, submit a short (one-page) paper introducing your chosen topic for the 437 Project, providing a rationale for your choice and how the project will serve as a tool toward your current or professional goals.
Don't be overwhelmed at this point in the process. Identifying a topic is at the very top of the research funnel. It's more important that you're thinking about your project and what you could possibly write about than having everything figured out!
I really need some help on this. My Topic is the Military, I'm in my 3rd year in the ROTC program and I'm about to commission as a 2LT.
