description This article discusses the activities and duties of the Women's Army Corps at Fort McClellan in Alabama; it includes photographs of the WACs at work, as well as interviews with women in several different departments on the base. "The WACs are popular at Ft. McClellan, genuinely so. They live the life which any attractive young woman leads, but within the guiding lines of the military.

The article ends by announcing the upcoming wedding of one of the women to a soldier stationed in Arkansas.
