WAVES and SPARs Stories

We’ve interviewed more than 50 women for this project, asking them to share their stories about their experiences as Navy WAVES and Coast Guard SPARs. Most of the women were interviewed by audio only, although we did do video interviews with some of the women (and did video interviews with all of the women featured in the film). Here you’ll find edited versions of these interviews plus links to the each complete oral history.

The interviews are divided by job classifications. Click on a section to get started!
