WAC stands for Women's Army Corps?! WTF? I'd read earlier that it was Without Altitude Control. Are people just making this garbage up as they go along?

That Wiki article is WRONG.
It was NOT named after the women's army corps, although they use the same acronym.

Actually IIRC I believe it stood for "without attitude control" meaning it had no control surfaces. I a!so recall that that was unverified.

He at least provided something to back it up. If you're right, you should show the documentation.

Without ATTITUDE Control effectively means the same thing. Unguided at all other than launch angle.
I stand marginally corrected. Regardless, it has nothing to do with women's army corps.

That's one outstanding line of B.S. on the Wiki Page. I'm glad we got that settled.
