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.)

How about we simply address each other as "Comrade", like in communist countries of the Cold War era?

First of all, I would like to go on record as saying that the person or persons that ever came up if this topic of discussion is, in my estimation, a complete and total idiot. (My opinion) When we are born we were born Male or Female and grow to be Boys and Girls, then, hopefully, responsible Men and Woman. Never heard or seen a gender neutral person. YOU ARE ONE OR THE OTHER!!

Lt Col Jim Coe
PO1 Gregg Mundy , I respectfully point out that it started with the Navy. They decided to try to change their rates to eliminate "man". Find a different title for fireman, radioman, etc.

How about "superior man". It is critical to leave the space in this title. It ensures that all know that men are superior. Also it is a well known fact that men have a bigger brain than woman which means we are smarter.

Once again the 'minority' is causing problems for all. The tail is wagging the dog. Why do we continue to let those minority whiners dictate? Not only is this whole thing stupid but consider the cost of making the changes. Let's give all airmen (both male and female) a raise in pay instead.

"Man" is already gender neutral, being descended from Sanskrit for "person". "Woman" is the only gender specific word, literally meaning "female-person."
