Graduation For WAVEs

The video covers the graduation of waves at S.S. Hunter in New York City, where 2,200 waves receive a farewell from their commanding officer. After completing basic training, these waves will take over roles to free Navy men for combat. They learn 15 different skills and are assigned to various naval stations, air bases, and hospitals across the nation. Despite 21,000 waves taking over such jobs, there is a need for 30,000 more. The video highlights the story of Genevieve Sullivan, who continues the legacy of her five brothers lost at sea.
