2023 is a milestone year for Naval aviation. Beginning in 1973 and continuing on to the present, the Naval aviation community has benefitted from the inclusion of women into its ranks. 50 years of history began in March 1973 when six women, termed the “First Six,” began flight training in Pensacola, Fla. These aviators are: Lt. Cmdr. Barbara Allen Rainey, Captain (Retired) Rosemary Bryant Mariner, Captain (Retired) Jane Skiles O’dea, Captain (Retired) JoEllen Drag-Oslund, Captain (Retired) Judith Neuffer, and Captain (Retired) Ana Marie Scott. In the 50 years since women entered Naval aviation, many other women in addition to the ‘First Six’ made careers in the field. One such woman is Cmdr. (Retired) Stephanie Oram. Following her graduation from the University of Wisconsin, Oram commissioned as a general unrestricted line officer and began her Navy career at Naval Communication Station in Stockton, Calif., serving as the Legal Officer and Technical Control Division Officer. During this tour, her department head encouraged Oram to apply for aviation training.
