Master Chief Anna Der-Vartanian was the very first female Master Chief Petty Officer. She served in the Naval Auxiliary Corps known as WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service." Women enlisted in WAVES had the same status as male sailors in the Navy, but were restricted in duty posts to the continental US and were not allowed to serve aboard ships or airplanes. Der-Vartanian served as a yeoman in the Navy for 20 years, from 1943 to 1963. Before her service in the Navy she served in the Army for a short time. Beth Lambert served as the command Master Chief on board the USS Theodore Roosevelt. She was the first female to hold such a position in the US Navy. She retired in May 2008 after a 30-year naval career.
