Jet Age Lures 'Airman' Anne Into The WAF By ALICIA HART ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, jet-minded carbon copy of a WAF recruitment poster can tell you why she's serving with the Air Force and likes it. She'll also tell you, no ifs or buts, that she's planning to re-enlist for another four years on her own conditions. Blonde, blue-eyed Airman Third Class Anne Elayne Walter, who's 20 and from High Falls, N. is a control tower operator here at this sprawling military air terminal. She has that all-around appearance and clean good looks that have made American women famous.

She does not necessarily represent every girl in the service today. But she does represent the best of what all the branches are looking for in their recruitment programs. Happy In Job Luckily for the Air Force, she's happy with her job, which is considered "critical." For being a control operator requires alertness, stability and plenty of level-headed quick thinking. Anne's goal, however, is to go abroad, and she'll re-enlist only if she's promised an assignment in Europe. There's hardly any question she'll have her way Going overseas is one of the glamorous attractions that draws a number of women into the WAF and other branches of the service.

Nearly a third of the women in Obituaries the Army are stationed at military bases abroad. And a small contingent of WAVES and Women Marines are assigned overseas, in addition to one WAF. "Being a WAF has given me a chance to travel, do something different and be somebody," declares Anne, who is far from crazy about the military discipline and inspections that go along with service life. But she freely admits it has done her some good. "My parents are all in favor of it, especially my mother.

I used to be sort of sloppy, but the first thing I do when I get up in the morning at home now is make my bed," she says. Anne's invaluable experience as a control operator makes her a prize attraction for any of the civilian airlines. "I realize I could probably receive higher pay on the outside, but I much prefer to work with' military aircraft," she explains. "At least half the planes operating here are jets. fast, maneuverable and much more interesting to handle froni) the tower.

Civilian planes are pokey and dull by comparison." Other reasons Anne gives for being in the service during peacetime coincide with those of hundreds of gals in the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines. "I have hardly any responsibilities as far as rent, food and paying bills goes," she observes. "When I get up in the morning there is only one type dress I can wear and the Air Force pays for that. I only have to spend money for party clothes." As an Airman Anne receives approximately $100 a month. And her entertainment expenses don'i amount to much since she goes oul on a number of dates.
