In early 1942, Boehret joined the Army Nurse Corps and was sent to Fort Story, Virginia, where she pent two years in the station hospital. In February 1944, she was transferred briefly to the 74th General Hospital at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and then to Camp Kilmer, New Jersey, where the 74th embarked for England aboard the RMS Queen Mary. Boehret became sick during the voyage and spent her first few weeks in England hospitalized. In May she joined the 74th in Hoylake and later in Wraxhall, where a hospital had been set up in Tyntesfield Park. In June 1945, Boehret went with the unit to France, where she remained until November 1945 when she returned to Camp Butler, Pennsylvania.
