The demobilization mills of the
women's services, facing a mass re-
conversion job, will give the women
the tools and hope they shape their
own futures.
WAVES and woman Marines will
get more individualized treatment
than WACS under their respective
programs. All the services will limit
their objective to supplying the
largest amount of information in
the shortest possible time, leaving to
local communities the task of read
justing the veterans they turn out.
Final processing for a WAC takes
only 48 hours. The Marine demobili-
zation program takes five days, Mai.

Most of them will go to the area
from which they enlisted. A few

different center, nearer a new home
