Proudly Presents



History of the Navy WAVES

The WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) program was
created in August 1942 in response to the need for additional military personnel
during World War II. From the very beginning, the WAVES were an official part
of the Navy, and its members held the same rank and ratings as male personnel.
They also received the same pay and were subject to military discipline. WAVES
could not serve aboard combat ships or aircraft, and initially were restricted to
duty in the continental United States. Late in World War II, WAVES were
authorized to serve in certain overseas U.S. possessions, and a number were sent
to Hawaii. At the end of WWII, there were well over 8,000 female officers and
some ten times that many enlisted WAVES, about 2-1/2 percent of the Navy's
total strength. In some places WAVES constituted a majority of the uniformed
Naval personnel. And many remained in uniform to help get the Navy into, and
through, the post-war era.

RNH Chorus dedicates this show to all the women who
have served or are serving in the Armed Forces.
We thank you for your courage, service and sacrifice.

RNH Show Chorus wishes to
express our gratitude to our family and friends

who are helping out this evening:

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
