330-PS-2022 (USN 710059): During the early months of 1951, there were over 35,000 women serving on active duty the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Current enlistments are increasing the numbering and thousands more will be available through the Reserve. To contrast to the service of women during World War I, the modern woman in uniform is not utilized only for clerical, secretarial, and medical work. They are employed in various other phases of service operations. Today, women act as communication operators, teletype repairmen, aerologists, information and education specialists, dental technicians, electronics instructors and serve in many other technical fields. They have volunteered for overseas duty and have been assigned to posts in foreign lands. No longer are women considered as merely a source for releasing men for active duty for they have become a vital and integral part of our Armed Forces. Aerology is a new field for women in uniform. Aerologist Third Class Marie L. Logan is a Navy WAVE working the weather forecast branch of operations. She charts the weather for flying operations of Armed Forces Flight Crews.
