From collection Vietnam Oral History Anthologies
Oral History Collection of WAC First Sergeant's Duties
Comparisons of female soldiers in the eighties and the fifties. Benson was the first enlisted woman to retire mandatorily with 30 years service, the first female to attend the Sergeants Major Academy, the First Sgt to WAC Detachment in Vietnam; Edwards was an instructor at WAC Center and 1SGT WAC Detachment at Ft Campbell, KY. Both women give their personal views on duties of women, what each gives and gets from the corps, women commanding men, expansion of the corps, equal opportunities, horror stories on uniforms; a delightful and humorous interview of two former First Sergeants who give insight on their personal experiences while serving in the WAC.
