She did her university proud for sure.
Yes credit to the history major!

I know, it was quite a time during WWII.

One thing people don't realize is that the psychology and education professionals
played a huge role in making sure the US military was top notch and well trained.
Like with these young men.

The US declared war after Pearl Harbor, had a big job with all the men being drafted and volunteering.
How to select the best people for each job. Select for the best skill set and aptitude, etc.

Psychologist and educators put pedal to the metal and quickly came up with excellent screening
tools for thousands and thousands of new recruits. Quickly and efficiently identifying people
for various highly skilled jobs. Or the aptitude to be quickly trained.

A good friend of mine, her father is a good example. He was an extremely bright man with
a high degree of mechanical ability. He gets drafted in WWII, is tested, immediately sent to
Florida for airplane mechanic training. Becomes a top student and is sent to Asia to work on the
famous Flying Tiger aircraft. All in a very short period of time.
