When World War II broke out, Pickens was working as a public health administrator and Wills as a social worker.
Despite the desire to serve their country, both women were not allowed to enlist until 1944, after the Navy formally decided to integrate the WAVES program.

According to historical records, Harriet Pickens not only caught up to her fellow classmates, but finished at the top of her WAVES commissioning class.
After the war, Harriet Pickens went back to work as a public health administrator for the Harlem Tuberculosis Office and the New York City Commission on Human Rights before succumbing to the effects of a stroke in 1969.
Frances Wills went to work as Langston Hughes’ secretary and wrote out her experiences in the WAVES program later in life, before passing away from breast cancer in the late 1990s.
