Strictly Personal (1/2): U.S. Women's Army Corps Training Film - Hygiene, Grooming, Health (1963)

[eslusser]

The WAC's were never really like that. They were mostly just as hard core as the men in the Army. My mother was a WAC during WWII and they had some pretty tough jobs to do. Not all of them were nurses. A good number of them were in transportation driving big trucks around.

[kuhleskind]

yea and back then basic training was only like 4 damn weeks! that's some bullshit! lol ... I wonder what these women did in the army back then???

[kaymcclain1]

And that's the way it was, too...K

Is she on a cell phone at 2:00? Did it fall through a time warp or something.

[Vydio]

@filledfast That looks like an old transistor radio. My drill sergeant didn't look like this.

[silver760]

Did they get an army issue dildo's?

[OldWriter205]

@silver760 No dildos. One female drill sgt was heard to say..."There's a mile of peter outside that gate and you gals aren't going to get an inch of it unless you shape up!"

[Vydio]

@OldWriter205 I heard dick instead of peter.

[JockeyGirlLuvsHorses]

Lol glad things have changed since then.

It's hard to believe but this is how it really was back in the 60s and 70s.

You Betcha, Ma'am!

There is only one black woman in this film.

My aunt was a Navy Nurse during WWII. She went on to be a Recovery Room Nurse, and she loved it. Traveled the world with the Navy. Gee, what fun!

[StevesWifeCharlo]

You Betcha, Ma'am!

you see, if this were my life, i would literally die. i slouch and like a T shirt and my PJs :)

[AventuraLuver]

This is too funny.

[evchesser]

You know, we need to get back to some of these basics in our Army for both men and women.

[evchesser]

I would just die with joy if modern female Soldiers acted like this today.

[Vydio]

@evchesser

I wouldn't.

[evchesser]

Definately 1950s Cold War propaganda. I love how relaxed the Army made things look and with women who were at least moderately attractive.

[dan51556]

hahahaha....they had to be taught to change their underware and to bath???? Very scarey!!!!

[HerbWalker]

On that Name Tag??? Is that her Name or JOB?? hahahaha

[Vydio]

Ft McClellan .... I took basic training there. These uniforms were such a nuisance.

[cwa14n3]

5:23 , in the Army as a woman, NOT a man! Simply stated. Don't Ask, Don't TELL! That butch do was TELLING!!

[bluegama500]

Women in front line combat? God help us. Having Women in front line combat is dangerous not for the enemies but for us.

[rowsofvoices9]

Yuck, wash your hair at least once a week?

[altosax1st]

Because the fellas in the enemy trenches really give a damm whether I shoot at them with short hair

[Trixiekitsch2008]

No enemy wants to be shot by a gal with chipped nails!

[EmoLover49701]

@Trixiekitsch2008 u mean fat monkey now i really hate u

[Splitskirts]

Great video / film ! This first bit is almost like " finishing school "; but the women look great in their uniforms. Thanks for putting it on. Regards.
