From 1941-1945, CF&I reported 18 women actually leaving service with the company to join the war effort in various positions. In contrast, there were 2,629 men who left CF&I service for the War. The majority of them returned to the company payroll as veterans. Thompson joined the WAACS, (Women Army Auxiliary Corps.)
