Radio School in Kansas City, Missouri, for future assignment to Air Forces.
  On 9 February 1943 Air Forces received word that the Chief of Staff had directed that the WAAC strength be considered a part of the authorized military troop basis of seven and one-half million soldiers -  that it not be considered "something extra". This decision in no way dampened AAF's enthusiasm for Waacs: No revision of estimated requirements was made, and the AAF went right ahead with the extensive building program which it had undertaken in the early winter to provide housing for Waacs at the many air bases where it expected to use its quota of 65,000. By this time it realized that the end of the WAAC AWS program was in sight, but it also saw the beginning of the WAAC Post Headquarters Company  program - the first post headquarters company was scheduled to arrive at an air base in early March.

End of Aircraft Warning Service

As has been said (1), it was decided in the winter of 1943 to man the Aircraft Warning Service with civilians, and to leave soldiers and Waacs free for the jobs which required mobility and which had to be done far from big cities with their attendant source of civilian volunteers or paid civilian

be filled by civil servants, duplication of WAAC and civilian efforts, assignment of Waacs to jobs (mess, etc.) which discouraged recruiting or were injurious to women (drivers of heavy trucks, etc.).
