Wilma Hugunin: I wasn't — I wasn't very alert about the war at that point. That came later. But then when we got through the training, then they were all divided up to go different places. And most of us were sent to Denton, Texas. I will never get rid of that place. However, that was a beautiful place. It was a women's college at Denton, Texas, and we were sent there for administrative duty. And that's all we did was do paperwork day after day after day. Every form that the Air Force had or every form the Army had, whatever that we were going to be doing administrative, we were taught how to do. And then —

Larry Ordner: I guess if you weren't a nurse in the Army or in some other branch, you were probably a clerk doing clerical work?

Wilma Hugunin: Oh, all administrative. Now, there were some girls later that worked on a flight line.

You know, they hauled those, oh, those things that you put behind airplanes. I forgot what you call them, but they would do some work like that. But mostly we were all administrative. That's what we were there for was to relieve the men to do the other work.

Larry Ordner: And you knew that going in?

Wilma Hugunin: Oh, absolutely. That's what we were there for was to do the paperwork.

Larry Ordner: Were most of the female assignments stateside?

Wilma Hugunin: Well, no. I can't tell you exactly. I don't have those figures exactly how many women were sent to Europe, but a lot.

Larry Ordner: Really?

Wilma Hugunin: We were the first ones to go. And then later they were some that went to South Pacific. But the first of us went to Europe. I just saw that figure here just yesterday. Talking about the place where I was in England. On the 23rd of May, now this is '44, '44, yeah, the arrival of the first detachment of women's corps to the Depo. And let's see here, it says we came in on that night and the next day we were on duty. And I remember that very well. We got in that night and the next day I was in the bombsight department.

Larry Ordner: That's amazing.

Wilma Hugunin: Under lock and key. The bombsight department was secret. And we had a guard all day long out there. We had to sign in, sign out.

Larry Ordner: And this was immediately after basic?

Wilma Hugunin: No. This — I am talking about when I got to England.

Larry Ordner: Okay. Let's talk now when basic was over.

Wilma Hugunin: Went to administration school.

Larry Ordner: And was that on like administrative —

Wilma Hugunin: At Denton, at Denton.

Larry Ordner: Okay. And how long roughly was that period?

Wilma Hugunin: That was eight weeks, yeah.

Larry Ordner: And that was a good primer on administrative, clerical, and everything?

Wilma Hugunin: Oh, that was — you learned everything that there is to do from — from the squad level or the company level on down, you know, the morning reports, the sick reports, everything. Because you didn't know if you were going to be assigned to a cadre

in a small company or whether you are going to go out and work, say, over here to work with the bombsight people. We didn't know at that point what we were going to do. But we were being trained for every piece of paperwork that had to be handled.

Larry Ordner: What was chain of command like? How did your superior officers —

Wilma Hugunin: They were just like we. They were all learning. Most of the girls — I could have gone to OCS

if I wanted to. I didn't want to. I mean, they would take you without a college education if you had it up here. And, you know, and I had no problem with any of this paperwork. But I didn't want to go. I wanted to go where the action was. And I didn't want to run a little company. You know what I am saying?

Larry Ordner: Yeah. So how could you be sure that you'd go where the action was?

Wilma Hugunin: Well, because that's what I studied for. And that's what I asked to be assigned to. I wanted to be at an air field when we got out of basic training. And they asked you what you wanted to do, if you had a choice. And I said yes, I want to go to an air field.
Larry Ordner: So was this lure of flight, wasn't there?

Wilma Hugunin: When I was a little girl, we'd hear an airplane, we'd run outside and look at it. You know, it is hard for you to imagine.

Larry Ordner: Well, I can picture that.
