Navy's top enlisted leader is wrapping up job title review. Intent is to remove "man" from job titles, such as corpsman, to make them gender neutral. All Air Force members are referred to as "airmen" and three enlisted ranks include "man" in their title. What would you suggest as an alternative to "airman"? (You can have fun with this, but serious alternatives also are appreciated.)

I agree with many other posters. I am a female, former Army couldn't give a crap less about gender neutrality. I know what I am. I know there are toolsheds who worry about stupid things like this.

When trying to come up with a gender neutral title for Air Force members, the first title that comes to mind is "Air Head." Because there is no such thing as "gender neutral." You either have "a pair" and you're a man, or you don't have "a pair" and your're a woman. What's wrong with being called Airman or Airwoman? But, allowing myself to play this politically correct nonsense, I suggest, "Airguardian."

Remove political correctness from our military and ranks. The military is not in the business of being politically correct generally speaking. I don't understand why anyone wearing a uniform is buying into this left wing progressive nonsense or attempting to push it down onto the service members. Political views LEFT or RIGHT should be excluded and completely absent when establishing new doctrine. Serving in the military is already challenging; why add nonsense to it?

I am now a mail carrier. Previously people called us mailman. Perhaps a title that is not either gender specific would be better for example. Technicican, specialist, or adopt the army ranks since the air force did get its start in the army.

"Man" in a title has nothing to do with gender, it is a rule in the English language. The PC BS has to stop. Was rated a Fire Controlman and will never change that.
