On September 20, 1948, the U.S. Navy selected 21 women for active duty in the Medical Service Corps under the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act. Each of these pioneers were former WAVES—Women Accepted for Volunteer Enlisted Service—who had served in various capacities in World War II. And although they are not considered plankowners of the Medical Service Corps, they represent the first women to serve in the Medical Service Corps.
