First WAVES

My cousin was one of the first to enlist in the WAVES.

Soon after arrival at boot camp her contingent was herded into a long narrow building that had only two doors – one at each end.

The rear door led to the dispensary where a doctor was to give the newcomers their physical examinations.

Stripped to the skin, and embarrassed beyond words, the girls waited.

Suddenly the dispensary door opened. Through it a seasoned pharmacist’s mate thrust his head and, without showing any signs of indecision, sang out. “Close your eyes, girls, I’m coming through!â€
