Ever wonder why Woman Marines don't have a special name like WACs and WAVEs? "They (Women Marines) don't have a nickname, (like WAVEs or WACs) and they don't need one. They get their basic training in a Marine atmosphere, at a Marine Post. They inherit the traditions of the Marines. They are Marines." -- Lieutenant General Thomas Holcomb (1943) http://www.kilroywashere.org/FeaturedImage/BAMs.jpg
