The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps are getting a progressive make-over. The word 'man' will be dropped from each job and rating description to make them inclusive and gender-neutral.
Long gone are the days of ordnanceman, corpsman, or naval aircrewman- the new rating could be called ordinance person, health assistant, and aircrew assistant.
"This is one more step in how our force has changed," Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said in an interview Friday. "Our force has evolved, our force is different. And I believe it's stronger and better."
"It's time for us to let go of telling women, 'You're just included. We don't call you out by sex, but just know you're part of mankind,'" said Lory Manning, a senior fellow at the Service Women's Action Network. "When you hear that 'man' at the end, the image is a male image."

This is right up there with changing the REDSKIN’S name. The only people who were offended about the name were the Dumb-o-crats, media, and other morons with nothing better to do. The Indians (oops, can I say that?) were NOT offended by it.
This crap inflicted on the military is more of the same.
Commies kept the Balkans and the other soviets down for 75 years but they came back. Gotta have our own baptism of fire I guess. Next war’s comin’ home.
So we replace ‘man’ with ‘primate’????
It would raise the intelligence level.
Well I sure hope they come up with a dumbass alternative for “woman”.
Cause you cant have man in the woman title anymore.
sailor
= = =
Probably a masculine ending.
Need Sailette.
Thempowers that be are really trying to balkanize us so that we cant join up and deal with them the way they ought to be.
No. Just ‘corpses’ to wherever the politicians and their minions in this current, disgraceful ‘brass’ decide to send them.

General Officers may be referred to as “Top” or “Bottom” as required.
I'm still trying to figure out how Prohibition got to be a Constitutional amendment.
Smoking is the other womens issue. Guns is a newer issue.
All these intended to clean up "men" and save lives.
But women have an "exclusive" right to kill babies? Are we stupid or what.
Too feminine.
Don't worry, the leftists are busy dismantling feminism. Women are being marginalized by the new fad of pretending that men who claim to be women actually are women. In any endeavor where men are better than women (usually that intense physical stuff), real women need not apply. Trannies will take their place.
Yah, but .... look how many words begin with ‘men’ - there’s like 148 of them, then there’s names that begin with ‘man’ like 406 of them. Looks like the military has their work cut out for them.
Well, naval gazing is cheaper than building ships and artillery
I was an Engineman on diesel submarines for twenty years. I am not an Engineperson although I like engines and machinery. I guess that makes me an Engine Person, however.
I sure wouldn’t expect women Enginemen to change to Enginettes.
What about Fireman or Seaman or Airman?
Too much PC. Glad I retired.
The de-balling of the once mighty American military continues literally.
This is like Woolsey’s push to have the Dept. of Defense , formerly the Dept. of War, changed to the Department of Peace.
Such morons! The suffix “man” in these titles means “person”.
Will they next demand that the word “woman” be changed to “woperson”?
