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.)

Man in these titles can be seen to referring to mankind. As far as my opinion goes this is the military and we shouldn't be bowing down to society. We are all trained to kill and to do it efficiently regardless of how people feel on this this matter. It shouldn't change it refers to both genders. Like she said before this comment woman has man in it to. Big military should stop bending their knee to politics. This isn't a buisness.

I know many female airmen that would be upset if they changed it. Why don't they change the term woman since it had man in it?

Honestly I would reabsorb the Air force back into the Army and make it part of aviation branch and call everyone Soldiers again. Too much redundancy and poor stewardship of taxpayer money demands reconsolidation and overhaul of acquisition process and all did contracting. How about that? No more "air persons".

Well, "zoomie" is pretty neutral. But then again, "gender neutral" is PC, which is BS, or as a female tech sergeant once put it, tango uniform.
