Bio
Rainy River Community College, Associates in Applied Science Degree,
Took additional classes for writing policy procedure handbooks, leadership skills for women, some business law,conflict management and some accounting skills.
In the past I worked at a window factory, went to college and once I relocated got a job starting as an administrative assistant. Was doing great until my body began falling apart worse. Began to have more and more surgeries for kidneys, female organs, thyroid, stomach and more that the hospital janitors were joking with me that I should have a cot at the hospital waiting room.

female private
It was April 1978 When the legislature decided things would change for women to be trained equal with men. We were trained with hand grenades, m60 machine guns, m16 with grenade launchers, the law ect... Once seen that most women could do it they told us we would no longer be called WAC's in the future. I treasure my Palace of Athena badge they said it was the last of giving those out to wear on the collar anymore History:
Discontinuance of the Women's Army Corps
As a means of assimilating women more closely into the structure of the Army and to eliminate any feeling of separateness from it, the office of the Director, WAC was discontinued on 26 April 1978. The Women's Army Corps as a separate corps of the Army was disestablished on 29 October 1978 by an Act of Congress.
