does her post-war planning NOV!
Yes, while G. I. Jane is in there working for Uncle
Sam . . . she's doing a little postwar planning en
the side. Every WAC is a full-fledged member of
the "G.I. family" of the United States, and as a
regular "G.I." she's entitled to full benefits con
ferred on veterans of World War II in the "G. I.
Bill of Rights."
No wonder she works so hard and seriously at her
job . . . knowing that she's doing her part to bring
our fighting men home sooner . . . and knowing
that no other wartime job can hold so much pro
mise for the future.
Other women from the ages of 20 through 49
would do well to heed G.I. Jane's example. The
Army needs you more than ever now. Bring the
day of victory near . . . Enlist in the WAC ...
insure your postwar future.
