As the Army prepares to integrate women into its combat arms jobs, it’s too early to say if titles such as infantryman and armor crewman will give way to more gender-neutral names, officials said.
The Army has submitted its implementation plan to the Defense Department and is waiting for further guidance and approval of or changes to the plan, said Lt. Col. Jennifer Johnson, an Army spokeswoman.
On Friday, the Air Force said it will not review its gender-specific titles.

Probably. Why not, we seem to be emasculating the culture, why not start with the military.

I certainly hope not SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. Dropping the man from infantryman, or cavalryman or artilleryman [which has been integrated in many MOSs for years] would be as short-sighted as removing the name Redskins or Braves from a team because of a perceived insult.
On the other hand, using spokesman for man and spokeswoman for a woman make sense.

LTC Stephen F. well received and felt. I agree with you, my question is "what will the Army re-name it, if changed"!

Infantryperson, artilleryperson, and cavalryperson would probably be the most acceptable terms for the politically correct which would include male, women transgender in fact and transgender in waiting groups SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL
