Since the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, is a woke chump, I am surprised they haven’t changed it yet. I have talked to enough enlisted people. The majority are not happy with wokeness.
considering women already are named as a term that is “man” with a “wo” in front of it, they should hardly be complaining about other terms that have a prefix part in front of “man”.
Fly people...
I was in the Coast Guard, the Coast Guard had nothing back 50 years ago and they begged, borrowed and stole or struck MOU’s, of course things have changed over the years but in the 70’s even Coadt Guard gym equipment was cast off from the other services.
So we went to other bases for our recreational needs and the Air Force always had nice gyms, nice golf courses, nice swimming pools, nice bowling alleys, nice canteen, all the amenities. Hell, the air force even had movie theators, the coast guard showed their movies on bed sheets stretched across the bulkhead on the mess deck.
For a while there I thought about laterally moving over to the Air Force then I realized that the air force likes to grow its own, and that it’s very hard to make rank in the Air Force, as a result 20 year E5’s and E6’s are (or used to be) very common.
