Soldiers in Skirts WAAC signal corps training in Florida
Two women stand at the threshold of WAAC signal corps training as they learn radio code operation, repair, teletypewriter work, switchboard installation, and equipment maintenance. The program aims to free able-bodied men for the front, with 2,000 more women needed, and offers paths to higher grades and officers' training. One recruit demonstrates field stenchboard setup and gas mask procedures at training camps like Daytona Beach, Florida.
