The Women’s Army Corps is a component part of the Army of the United States. A Wac is just as much a sol- dier as her sweetheart, husband, son, or father in khaki or OD. She is a member of the Armed Forces of the United States—but assigned to non-combatant duties only, either on this continent or overseas. Like every soldier, she serves for the duration plus six months. Same Pay as Soldiers. A Wac receives exactly the same pay as a soldier in the same grade. (From $50 a month up, all clear, no expenses.) She also has the same opportunities for advancement in grade and pay. WAC Officers Come Up From the Ranks. Every enlisted woman has an equal opportunity to compete for selection as officer candidate. Officers are badly needed and promotion is rapid for those women who have the right stuff. Those- who do well at basic training, show qualities of leadership and hence are recommended by their Commanding Officers, are sent, if they apply, to Offi- BASIC TRAINING.
