The vast majority of US Army servicemen never saw women, except in aid stations (base hospitals in RVN). In fact, US Military Policemen patrolled the WAC barracks in most stateside forts, such as Ft. Knox KY as one example. Any GI taking a stroll near a WAC barracks would be (or could be) stopped by the MPs.
