Black only has to ask the U.S. Navy for something and her wish is granted.   She has a wonderful working relationship with the Navy because of her service and that of her late husband, Delbert D Black. She joined the Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Services (WAVES) in the first year that this Navy branch was established. The female members were accorded a status comparable to that of male members of the reserve, unlike the Women s Army Corps (WAC) unit in the Army. Ima remained a member until the close of the war.
