 The Navy's Office of Women's Policy in Washington helps shape policies around issues that affect female officers and enlisted personnel. Chief Jessica Myers explains how the office was formed. So our office actually was erected right after World War II when women were officially allowed to stay on active duty Navy and they didn't really know what to do with us. So they formed this office to kind of guide the direction of where women would serve. Today the office monitors gender trends including recruiting, retention, parenthood, classification and career development for the women that make up nearly 18% of the Navy's total force.
