Billy Barstow goes through basic training at Fort Oglethorpe, then is unsigned to Romulus Army Air Field, near Detroit r t Fort Oglethorpe, some w my group for mak- " ing friends with a U u certain, very attractive at-tractive young women among us. Finally I asked, "Why can't I be friends with her?' The answer an-swer was, "She's a Jew." I became very angry, and I then made a point to become better acquainted with her. -At a Friday-night songfest, we learned that this woman had a beautiful soprano voice. Little by little, the rest of the gang "allowed" "al-lowed" her to become one of us. Still, at the end of basic training, a lot of the women still thought of her as a "Jew," though most allowed that she was a "very nice girL" Basic training was very educational. The women came from various walks of life, various levels of education, and various levels of monetary status. sta-tus. I met some snobs, and also some very frightened young women who weren't quite sure what they'd gotten themselves into, or why. Most of them simply desired to be of service to their country, though it was a very emotional experience for us all. I wasn't too thrilled to be sent back to Michigan, but for some reason, I was appointed acting corporal for the 15 or so of us who went in the first shipment. I was told, "You are responsible respon-sible to see that these girls are taken care of and that they behave." Our sergeant didn't arrive for three days, and our first officer arrived only after three weeks. The first night on base, we were subjected to ridicule by a certain sergeant who was conducting the big "welcome party." A few of us women were put on chairs up on the stage, and the sergeant proceeded to poke fun of us by making condescending remarks, re-marks, loaded with innuendos. That "got me Irish up," and I challenged him. I took the mike and told the audience that we were not on the field to be the object of ridicule, but to do a job, and we were going to do that job. I was applauded mightily by the other men, and a few days later, I was called into the office and asked if I would be interested in becoming a teacher. We were called "Air WACs," and we did all kinds of things. I started out in the motor pool, driving men to the Detroit airport so they could fly to factories fac-tories to pick up planes to fly to Europe, and also driving the base shuttle bus. But my understanding under-standing was that this was a temporary assignment. As soon as other qualified women came along, we would be assigned to the flight line which is where 1 wanted to be. (When 1 was 4 years old, I told my mother that someday I would be involved with airplanes.) But that never happened. Eventually the paperwork was squared away for me to become be-come a teacher, and I was sent to Lexington, Va., to Wasliing-ton Wasliing-ton and Lee University, to a special services school. When I arrived at the train station to go to Lexington, it developed that somebody had read my name, Wilma. as William, and I was assigned to a double berth with a mule occupant. That person said, "No way am I going to give up my berth for her." As I sat in a coach, expecting to spend the night there, here came a porter. He leaned over my shoulder and said, quietly, "We have a berth for you. We have on board an officer in the Air Force who heard about your situation, and he has ordered us to give you his berth. He will sit up all night." The officer didn't want to be known. At Lexington, most of the men treated us quite decently, and the instructors were all nice. I did wonder why one particular par-ticular sergeant was there, because his total interest was to find ways to make life miserable miser-able for us females.
