That out of the way, it's all over but the waiting.

Similarly, Melanie says she spends most of her time working at church when she is not working at her job as a jewelry salesgirl Both admit to some fears of "making it" at the academies, but both are desperate for the chance to try. Both say they will try for R.O.T.C. scholarships, to coljege if they are rejected by the academies. Having grown "up In military families, neither of the -female applicants has ever felt any prejudice toward the military, and both believe the stigma of the 60's is beginning to fade in their generation. "The; militarris definitely getting back in favor young people," Tammy Lynn believes.J"A lot of it I think is that the job situation is so bad.

"I think I can take care of myself, and I want a rewarding career," she says. "I think the Air Force offers that for me and now for the first time I have a real opportunity to go to the academy.

Georgia congressional offices report that processing applications for the academies has included only a trickle of inquiries from female students. "It seems Georgia women would rather stay in civilian clothes," said an aide to U.S.

Sen. Herman E. Tal-madge. Each senator and representative can sponsor five students at each of the three primary service academies. When one of the five leaves an academy, the congressman can appoint another, keeping Us number of appointees in school at five.
