8. World War II Parachute Riggers
The Parachute Rigger was absolutely vital to the safety of the wartime Navy’s tens of thousands of pilots and aircrewmen. WAVES were trained for this function at Lakehurst, New Jersey, and subsequently stationed at a great many Naval Air Stations. There had apparently been an belief that WAVES would be “naturals” in this function, since the sewing machine was one of their inherent tools. Though it was found that ninety percent of women recruits did not know how to use a sewing machine, this discovery did not hinder the training of WAVES as parachute riggers and their subsequent success in the job.
