Please spare us this nonsense...
The PC climate is getting out of control. I know the other branches are conducting reviews for job titles, etc. But when does it stop? Air Force members are and should always be recognized as "Airman" -- changing that is stripping the Air Force of its history and tradition. Don't even get me started on the idea of changing our terms of address for the junior enlisted tier as well. I just hope someone up the chain stands up and says "enough is enough"....

Airman is a bit like the word human. Human can be male or female. So can an airman.

Man....this would be TOO DAMN EASY to go on..... Y'all are that worried about loosing the title of "Seaman". This is the same branch that used the Village People as a recruiting tool?
