| The 14th Army WAC Band was another fixture unit at Fort McClellan, Ala. and was inadvertently decommissioned along with the Womens Army Corps. in 1977. This was the same year that Monsanto Corp. was court ordered to halt all manufacturing production for PCB's in the Anniston area. I was briefly stationed at the 14th myself for a couple of months after boot camp before heading on out to the Army Signal Corps school for greater horizons. So I know this unit well from the inside out. It was the prestigious Icon unit of the corps and it did demonstration performances all over the Anniston region during its existance. I have recovered a couple of shots of the unit from various places on the internet, and colorized this version to bring out the details since photography back in the day was not developed as well as it is now. I am hoping to eventually get the time to make a trip to the womens museum to extract premium SCANS for digital manipulation. This shot is believed to be in the proximity of 1961 because it matches other shots found which were dated. Many of the women in the band were Lifers. This was really not a unit of transients by any definition. Many stayed until they retired from the Army altogether. They owned property in the Anniston area, and some of the best military house parties I have ever been to came from this crowd of jokesters and goodtimers. Talented, smart, funny, and totally on top of their military game for precision. They had it all and it was truly the Army's loss the day they were decommissioned.
