The WAVES served in 900 shore stations in the continental United States. Initially, they were prohibited from serving on ships or outside of the country. In September 1944, the Congress amended the law by allowing the WAVES to volunteer for service in the territories of Alaska and Hawaii. Hawaii was the only overseas station staffed with the WAVES on a permanent basis.
The officers were employed in such professions as doctors, attorneys, engineers, mathematicians, and chaplains.
Most enlisted WAVES worked in jobs traditionally performed by women, such as clerical work, health care, or storekeeping. A few took over jobs typically held by men, in occupations like aviation machinists, aviation metalsmiths, parachute riggers, control tower operators, radio operators, yeomen, or statisticians.
Pamela was released from over three years duty in March, 1947.
Pamela , former WAVES lieutenant, married Ralph Arthur Nichols on May 3, 1947, in Rye, New York. She had three children during her marriage. The family lived in Stamford, CT where Pamela spent her life dedicated as a housewife and a mother.
Pamela Crow Bermingham Nichols died on February 17, 1980, in Stamford, Connecticut, at the age of 59.
