RANSVESTIA

"That's where you're wrong, Sergeant," Major Jones replied, "be- cause in a few minutes you'll know why she looks familiar. In that office there is another change of clothing for you. Please put them on and come back in here."

I went into the office he had indicated and looked around. The only articles of clothing I could see was a layout of women's clothes including a blonde wig. I frowned and went into the Major's office to protest. Be- fore I could say anything, though, he said, “I know what you are think- ing, but we have our reasons. Please put them on. If you have any trouble, just call for Lt. Osborne and she will help you." "Yessir,” I muttered and closed the door behind me. What in the world was happen- ing to me, I asked myself was this some sort of game they were play- ing with me? No, the Corps wouldn't yank me all the way across the country just to play games. I decided it had to be some sort of cloak and dagger gimmick. I undressed and for the first time in my life started putting on feminine clothes. I had quite a struggle with the girdle, hook- ing the bra gave me trouble and my stocking seams weren't straight but then I was strictly an amateur at this. I was zipping up the dress when there was a knock at the door. “Come in,” I said. Lt. Osborne came in and closed the door behind her. "About ready?” she asked pleasantly.

"I guess so, Ma'm," I replied and blushed as I thought how I must look to her. She smiled and said, "Let me help you with that," and placed the wig on my head.

"What's going on, anyhow?" I asked her.

"You'll know in just a few minutes," she replied, "but first, let me pretty you up a little bit." Before I could protest, she did something to my eyebrows and then told me to hold still as she put some lipstick on me. "That'll do for now,” she said, “come on back into the office."

I almost fell as I stood up and took my first step in high heels. She laughed and took my arm. We walked around the office a few time till I said I thought I could make it on my own. It was one bewildered, embarrassed, confused Marine that walked awkwardly back into the other office. I blushed again as I saw them just sitting there looking at but none of them laughed.
