brought into being as a eomponant* of tha Army of tha
United Stotaa and not on auxiliary. An OTorwhalming mo-
ferity of Its personnel ra-anliatad in tha WAC.
They had dona their }ob ao wall, had gamarad tha
praise of ao many high-ranking ^cials. that tha Wor Da-
partmant had reason enough to bring them into tha Army
on tha soma laral with enlisted man and officers of tha AUS.
According to tasaarch figures, there ora 628 Army spa-
cialixed Jobs, of which 406 eon be handled by WACa. Bosad
on strength reports, it hos been ahovm that osar one million
men are now amplof ed in those 406 jobs. In order to use
fully the skills and aptitudes of present WAC personnel, but
155 of thoM positions ora being filled with women.
Ml Aa god in slaw, ultimately, will be to place prop
erly qualified women in those jobs. And, with that in mind,
tha Army has initkxtad one of tha greatest WAC enlistment
drires in its history.
Women with skills and knowledge are being allowed
to apply for a specific branch of the Army, ond every effort
La being made to see thot they are placed in thoae jobs. In
iddilion, they will be given every opportunity to seq how
ihe WAC iM run, and how their jolM ore new being handled,
even before enlisting.
Il is toow postihls lar woman to enlist in tha AAF. They'll
be knovm as "Alr-Wacs" and they'll work side by tide with
man now in tha Army Air Forces. They're going to taka over
a multitude of jobs, and tha Army believes that they will do
them as wall, or batter, than tha man now in those positions.
Thus it is. that on tha eve on what wall may be a great,
all-out crtlock on tha Axis, tha women of Amarlco are called
upon again. It is fitting that they respond with all tha pa
triotism and loyalty they ora so oopabta of giving.
This time, woman with special quolificotlons ora
needed. Woman who will step Into a job they have bean
familiar vrith or hove tha skills for, and curry it through.
