There were no non medical female sailors until mid 70’s.

You are so wrong. There were Personelmen and Yoemen. And in 1972 I was in a Seabee unit that had the first female. She was an equipment operator. And not bad on the eyes, I might add.

My mom was a WAVE during WW2. She was trained at Hunter College and stationed at Treasure Island, San Francisco.

Don't know how to post a personal picture, but she wore a uniform like the ones worn in this picture. Without the strips because she was not an officer.
