Anecdotes
Filmed on location at Fort Lee, VA,, which at the time had a Women's Army Corps (WAC) training center, and the US Army's Quartermaster School (which, as of 2018, is still there). The WACs, as a separate branch of the Army, was disbanded in 1978 and its members integrated into regular units.

Gaffes
When the army truck, which had been following Jo and Sky, pulls up at the barracks after the Arctic tests, banks of studio lights are visible in reflection in the truck's windshield.

Private Rosalind

The plot of this movie is more than a little similar to "Private Benjamin." It's fun to see Rosalind Russell as a sort of WASP version of Goldie Hawn, indignant at the treatment she's being given in the WACs. The first half of this film is nearly a laugh a minute, but it bogs down in the second half when it does duty as a propaganda film and tries to put a button on the story line.

I found a DVD copy of this included on one of those discs that cram several movies on to one disc and cost very little. The title of the disc is "Comedy Classics" and includes (along with "Never Wave At a WAC") "New Faces," "Hazel Flagg," "The Smallest Show on Earth," and five others.

This movie is well worth the effort to locate, if only to see the scene in the doctor's office, Miss Russell with cigarette in hand.
