RANSVESTIA

Major Atkins spoke first. “Amazing,” he said, “sit down, please.” I felt like slugging the Colonel when he held the chair for me and said, "It's only proper to do that for a lady, Sergeant," and smiled. "O.K.," I said to myself, "have your fun."

The Major came around the desk and again held the photograph in front of me. He reached behind him and picked up a mirror. I looked at the photograph again and then he held the mirror so I could look into it. I had never been so surprised in my life! I was looking at the woman in the photograph!! The resemblance was so startling I couldn't move -just look.

"Now you know why she looks familiar to you," he said. "You look enough like her to be her twin sister."

"You're right, Sir, but but," I stammered, "what does it mean?"

"This woman is a spy, and we want you to take her place," he said. "You will be well trained before replacing her, but it is only fair to tell you that there will be some danger to the mission."

“I don't think I could make a very convincing woman, Sir," I replied, "I've never done anything like this before in my life!" I crossed my legs and noticed the smoothness as one nylon stocking slid across the other. I looked down and noticed that my skirt had slid above my knees. I hurriedly pulled it down and then blushed as the Major said, “Oh? That was a purely feminine act." "May I smoke, Sir?” I asked.

"Certainly," he replied, giving me a cigarette and then lighting it for me. I blushed again when I saw the lipstick on it and realized it was mine. It seemed to me that I had spent half the morning just blushing.

"What all is involved in this mission, if I accept, Sir?” I asked, dread- ing the answer.

Major Atkins looked over at Major Jones and said, "This is your department, Jonesy.”

Major Jones cleared his throat and said, “You will be transferred here and begin your training immediately. Lieutenant Osborne will be your coach, instructor, critic and liaison between you and us. You will live, act, breathe, eat, – everything as a woman. You must let your hair grow
