>>all titles, including seaman and rifleman, are under review
Why stop at the gender end. Why do we need to label these people at all. Isn’t “Comrade” good enough?
I was in the Navy and there were Waves in the Navy at the same time. I assume they were called “seaman” etc.
I can see why the Navy would want to come up with something else to call their sailors and marines. Or, they could just call them sailor or marine. Which they already do. But, add their work description to it. Example: Electrician Sailor or Boatswain’s Mate Sailor. (Man this is stupid.)
Of course, many of the dike waves love to be called “men”. Just not “se” men.
