NARA’s Media Matters blog has been on a roll lately, posting some of their outstanding work with a batch of materials from the Defense Visual Information Center.
In “Don’t Walk Like a Man : Be the Best WAC You Can Be,” Media Matters ishares with us a film from the Women’s Army Corps’ Military Etiquette and Grooming series, “Look Like a Winner” (1971):
The Army’s expectations for women’s behavior in social situations are covered in the excellent “Pleasure of Your Company” (1970):
The DVIC accession also includes original footage for “Return of Count Spirochete” (1973) a Navy animation starring an animated syphilis bacterium. Yes.
Enjoy!
