WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) was a women's branch of the United States Navy created during World War II because of the need for more military personnel. The WAVES' members held the same rank as male personnel and received the same pay. WAVES did not serve aboard combat ships or aircraft. By the end of the war, over 84,000 women served in WAVES with 8,000 female officers, which constituted 2.5% of the US Navy's personnel strength.

This poster was created as a part of the Navy's campaign to recruit new WAVES candidates. A proud cadet salutes us, proud to be able to relieve a man from his duties on the Home Front to go fight abroad.

This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.
