The contents are divided by branch, and offer information on the following subjects: a brief history and description of each reserve; pay and benefits; uniforms and expectations; physical, character, and mental requirements; how to apply; physical exams and interviews; training; specialist schools; promotions; and subject-specific knowledge to have before applying (e.g. basic First Aid, arithmetic, current events, and even Morse Code).

"American women -- This is your war. Your men are sacrificing theirs lives for everything you love and believe in . Whether you wear the 'olive drab' of the WAACS or the 'navy twill' of the WAVES and SPARS or the 'forest green' of the WOMEN'S RESERVE of the U.S. MARINE CORPS, you can contribute your equal share toward victory" (p. 2).
