It * not easy to become a chief petty officer in the Navy and theie
are the first four WAVES who qualified for the rating. Women must
take examinations and be considered for advancement along with all
other enlisted Navy personnel. Chiefs wear the same uniform as other
enlisted WAVES, except for an officer’s type hat with the touted anchor
— the regular chief petty' officer’s caj> device. Rhodell Angel comes from
Thief River Falls, Minn. Vera Maxine Rearson’s home is in Loda, 111.
Frances D. Hanusik is from Yonkers, N. Y. Marion T. Longhurst is a
native of Stamford, Conn. Three of the chiefs are stationed in Wash
