A very attractive young wave by the notable Navy Artist John Falter holds up a chart showing a comparison chart of pay scales for Navy Waves of different ranks; the pay rates may have been attractive in the 1940's but look pretty small by today's standards: the lowest Pay Rate shown on the scale chart is for an Apprentice Seaman at $50.00 per month, $54.00 a month plus a quarters allowance of $37.50, a young girl entering the Navy Waves could make up to a whopping $151.50 per month! Moving up the Navy Wave pay scale, Petty Officers could make up to $217.50; but wait, there is more: a $2.00 clothing allowance, free medical, dental, and life insurance, mail, special tax exemptions, transportation rates, discounts on theater tickets and more…

Women in the U.S. Military: World War II marked the turning point of women's participation in the United States military. At the beginning of World War 2 the only women actually in the U.S. military were nurses; then first in 1942 came the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC)—later the Women's Army Corps (WAC)—was established in May 1942. Two months later, the Navy began recruiting women into its Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service (WAVES). Women also entered the U.S. Marines and Coast Guard, and women pilots became members of the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Service (WAFS) and the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP). HISTORY WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY
Women on U.S. Armed Services Recruiting Posters: The images of women used on military recruiting posters were always gorgeous, pure and very feminine shown in neat as a new pin uniforms. The military recruiting posters were attempting not only to attract qualified women to the military but show the women of the military in a pure and positive light because the new idea of uniformed women alongside the military men although really necessary was not initially well accepted. In the beginning military women were not well thought of by people either in or out of the military. Many felt that a womanly women belonged in the home taking care of the family etc… in a sense many of the posters produced during the war years were aimed to change these types of ideas; even the women on posters promoting industrial "men's work" in the states created by the war and men absent overseas were presented as very feminine, maybe strong and determined but still all female very womanly (Rosie the riveter). The message that the poster creators were trying to impart to the women of America was to enlist in the U.S. armed services or take one of these "men's job" vacancies created by the war was not a "masculine" improper or immoral thing to do and would not affect their womanliness or take away from their femininity.
