Help with some dog tags.

[Apack7229]

Hi everyone, I’m trying to find out what these two tags are. I thought the A prefix was WAC but I’m not sure and I don’t know anything about the red tag. Any help is much appreciated.

The "A" prefix is supposed to be WAC enlisted woman. Dave

AO is Reserve Air Force Officer.   See find a Grave.

Thanks for the reply’s. Would the AO prefix be post ww2? I haven’t seen it before so I’m not sure.
