| #6 OP, you have every reason to be proud of your Mom. The Codebreakers were among our greatest heroes, and our greatest assets. |

| #5 As part of the ongoing PC-ization of our Armed Forces, the WAVES acronym was replaced by WIN ( Women In the Navy). It was deemed no longer cool to say that you were Riding the Waves...... |

| #4 "WAVES" stands for "Women's Auxiliary Volunteer Enlisted Service". My mom served in the WAVES from 1942 through 1945, in Washington, DC. I've got a couple of photographs of her in uniform, but not scanned in. She was part of the Navy cryptographic unit that decoded Japanese naval code during the war. I'm quite proud of her! She's not in THAT photo, though. |

| #2 Doesn't boycotting the elections save Perv the bother of rigging them? Why not ask the Iraqi Sunnis. |
