PROGRAM
The program was Steve Cross, a docent at the USS Midway Museum. He gave a slideshow showing the history of the Midway – it never served in WW2 – but did spend time post-war in the Arctic. The ship was also part of several evacuation efforts from Vietnam and the Persian Gulf wars. He also gave a brief overview on women in the military; while the Midway was in service, only 23 job categories were open to women, all of them essentially clerical.
