Wanted: Women
For WAF
Can a young woman wi!h a
high school e(1uration learn a
valuable job skill and draw a
good .salary at the same time?
i Can sh^ manage all this while
wearing a Hollywoorl-designed
wardrobe which is furnUht'd free
of charge?
Th(* surprising answer came to
day from local Air Force Recruit
ing Sergeant Lewdcrmilk. It’s an
omphalic "Yes”. Amazing as it
seems, almost 10,600 young wom
en are doing just that in today’s
Air Force WAF.
WAF are found in over 100 dif
ferent job skills in the Air Force
that were learned entirely while
on active duty. Each skill is also
found in civilian life, cn.suring tiie
ladies an excellent position after
their Air Foice .serx’ice is com
pleted. In addition, the ladies
earn exactly the same pay as do
th(» men from their first day of
active duty. Tliore is no double
standard.
Sgt. Lowdermilk had news too
for tho.so who still harbor old
fashioned ideas about women in
.service. Gone forever are the
World War I vintage baggv cloth
es and funny hat.s that titillated
the Dublic fanev in PrcFtident Wil
son’s day. Today’s modern Air
Force women wear smartlv tailor
ed uniforms that were designed
in Hollywood exclusively for the
WAF. This design is being con
stantly updated too in order to
keep pace with changiiig fashion
trends.
But the Air Force needs WAF
tor much more important reasrms
than simply looking pretty. W^.\F
serve in positions of ever increas
ing if^spon.^ibility right alongside
their male counterparts, thereby
earning the respect that is their
due.
True, there once was a time
when the Air Force regarded the
WAF as little more than an e.x-
poriment. But. Sgt. Lowdeimilk
points out. jet propulsion and
nx-ketry were also regard(‘d in the
past as being men* futuristic fan
tasies. Today’s WAF. iilce the iet
and the rocket, have become full-
fledged members of the Air Force
team.
Sgr. Lowdermilk urged young
women high school graduates
seeking an e.xciting and reward*
ing career to investigate the op
portunities available to them in
the WAF. Applications are now
being acoept<‘d from single w’om-
on under 28 who are in good
health. More detailed informa
tion. without obligation, may be
obtained by contacting Sgt. Low-
dormilk at tlie Air Force'Recruit
ing Office. 105 X. South St., Gas-
tonia. N. C.. telephone 867-7S92.
