Following its official creation this past December, the Space Force is looking for ideas on what the members of the newest branch of the U.S. military should be called.
"The U.S. Space Force is looking for feedback from U.S. military space professionals on what Space Force members should be called – similar to how the Air Force refers to its members as ‘Airmen’ or the Army refers to its members as ‘Soldiers,’" the Space Force wrote in a statement on its website.
It continued: "Given the significance a name has to the identity and culture of an organization, the Space Force is taking a deliberate approach to ensure Space Force member titles and ranks appropriately convey the nature of the newest Armed Forces branch and the domain in which it operates.”
Earlier this month, Lt. Gen. David Thompson, vice commander of the Space Force, said they won't be referred to as "spacemen."
In addition to what it calls its members, the Space Force is also asking for ideas on ranks and names for operational units, the military branch added.

Nope, that title will be reserved for members of their service academy when it comes online. Of course, the same term applies to members of ALL service academies in my opinion, but hey... these will be SPECIAL.

Why not call it what it is. The anti-swamp intelligence service.

Lt. Gen. David Thompson, vice commander of the Space Force, said they won’t be referred to as "spacemen."Thus insuring that all other branches will now refer to Space Force members as "Spacemen" no matter what the top brass decide to call them.
