| Comments: | I joined the WAC in March of 1955, spent well over a year at Fort McClellan, first basic, then clerical school, then I was cadre in Company B for a year. The WAC got rid of all us youngsters as cadre and brought in 'old soldiers', they could barely march, let alone exercise! I was sent to Orleans, France, where I served over 3 years, married my late husband, David Walls, while there. On a second tour of France, Poitiers this time, I became pregnant and was discharged. I served over 6 years in the WAC and loved every minute! My maiden name was Carlsen. I have many fond memories of my tour at Fort McClellan, especially the time we had an entire troop from Hawaii! |

| Comments: | I enlisted in the Army in June 1974, and was assigned to Co. B, 1st BN, Ft. McClellan, AL.
From what I understand our unit was one of the first to have male DI's. Ours was DI Mooney. He was really cool - helped us out with inspections. Other DI's were SGT Sims (female), SGT Lane (female). There was one who used to sing us TAPS at night before lights went out. I don't remember her name. Also went through a few weeks of STC (special training) because I wasn't as fast as some of the other girls - I thought I was doing pretty good! Anyway, there was a SGT Ross who was our DI for STC. Does anyone remember Carol Fenton? That was her married name. Being in the Army was great - it's an experience that I think all girls/women should experience, especially when they don't have much direction in their lives. I got out of the army early due to getting married, but reenlisted twice more later in the Reserves. Would not change a minute of my time in the military! Lots of good memories. If any should remember me, please feel free to e-mail. |

| Comments: | Hi! I attended Basic Tng at Ft McClellan, AL, in Aug 1974. Drill Sgt Strohbridge was tops! She was tough, but very fair. I attended AIT at Ft Ord, CA, and went on to serve 1 year with the 101st Airborne at Ft Campbell, KY, then to Germany for 2 years. I then spent one tour in the Indiana National Guard. I went to college, and I worked for the Veterans Administration (now the Dept of Veterans Affairs) for about 7 years. My tour of duty in the military helped to shape and mold my future in remarkable ways and opened doors of opportunity for me that otherwise would not have existed. I look fondly back on my memories and am extremely thankful for the guidance, direction and opportunities I gained from my experience in the military. Thanks for the adventure - it's been a great one! Esprit de Corp! |

| Comments: | My son started this web page for me a number of years ago...I'm getting too old to remember just how many years! I just turned 84...but I would like to tell you that old WACS are not forgotten...our Chapter 87 of the WAC Veterans Association was invited to come to Mt. View Retirement Village for Veterans' Day to share our adventures with the residents. We had a good lunch , talked to some of the residents and then 7 of us began telling a few of our adventures . Two of us dated back to WWII, three of us were Korean vets and two were from the Vietnam War. Afterwards we had a chance to talk with some of the "old folks" who had listened to us. One of the ladies who talked to me said that her husband was assigned to the USS Enterprise which brought me and a couple hundred other Wacs home after our ship , the Athos II was damaged on our way back to the States. The Enterprise picked us up in the Azores. Another old fellow came up to me in his wheelchair and said he had been in the US Navy and was out in that storm in December of 1945. He began to cry when he was talking about it. I patted his hand and told him I knew how some things were hard to forget. We are fading away but our memories are not. Mary Stirling |

| Comments: | I was in the WAC from 13 Nov 73-15 Jun 75.
I was stationed at Fort McClellan, C-5-2, for basic training from 13 Nov 73-11 Jan 74. I went to Fort Orde CA, D-4-4 AIT Bde, for AIT training as a Clerk-Typist then I went to Fort Jackson SC. I got married there to Gary M. Gabriel and then followed him to Ludwigsburg Germany. I was discharged after I got pregnant with my daughter which is 30 years old. I re-enlisted in Apr 1989 in the FL Army National Guard then transferred to the FL Air National Guard where I became a medic. I am now retired from the military and own a business. |

| Comments: | As an Infantry soldier, I never had the opportunity to serve with female soldiers, until I became a Dril Sgt at McCellan. I learned a whole new repect for our women in uniform, they took the challenge and accomplished it with great results.

| Comments: | Basic training at Ft. McClellan May 1975-Jul 1975, B Co, 2nd BN, PLT 5. Had a lot of fun; if I'd known how much nerve it was going to require I probably would not have done it. Too young to know how scared I should have been. Went back to McClellan after the WACs were gone. My husband was an instructor with the Chemical School in 1987 and his unit lived in my old barracks. Now it's all gone--closed. Good memories. |

| Comments: | I completed basic training "Charlie Company" at Ft. McClellan, AL in 1975. After leaving basic,I was assigned to the 5th Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg. Lost touch with most everyone from basic. Does anyone remember Drill Sgt. Wartell? Also, how can I get a copy of the yearbook from basic training? I would appreciate hearing from anyone that can let me know.
Thanks, Melody |
