October, 1943 saw another uniform addition for the WAVES. Dorothea Jameson models the working smock for pharmacists, laboratory technicians, parachute riggers, and other technical specialists. It would only be worn by enlisted officers.

The photographs come from the National Archives.

    “Enlisted Officers”? That’s kind of contradictory in and of itself, since enlisted personnel and officers are two different categories of personnel, isn’t It? Or is this some Navy-only category I’ve never heard of before?

      The photographs are being included with captions as written by the Navy. Weird, right?
