The Navy's WAVES were not considered part of the "Regular Navy"
until 1948 when a new law allowed women sailors in the regular Navy
and this woman was part of the first six from Southern California to
enlist. It includes her named Good Conduct Medal which I think are
not all that common for women who enlisted in the 1940's. You can see
more about her (and more photos) at

Asking $160 plus shipping for this.
