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.)

MSG John Wirts - Excellent. Fighting ridiculousness with ridiculousness. The adults should be referred to as "Magenta". It is disheartening that it takes such an extreme display to make a point...

Man is also found in the term Human. That is something that we All are. As a woman, I disagree with this topic and line of thinking. There are many other much more important issues to focus on. Not this.

Precisely! That is why you make the big bucks ma'am. Anyone who doesn't pick up on that is illiterate and needs to go to BSEP.
