PO1 William "Chip" Nagel: Damn I'd love to go to that lecture. It's a really great book that delves into the Code Girls who broke the codes used by the Germans/Japanese during WWII. Fascinating read about not just their jobs, but their day to day lives after work and after the war ended. The book is "Code Girls: The Untold Story of the Women Code Breakers of World War II" by Liza Mundy. She did some really great research and actually spoke/interviewed several of the remaining code girls.
