What do they call wimmen airmen?

Sounds like we definitely need to have a poll on this one.
Crap, you're right JR! "Airman" is not only a specific rank (three ranks, actually) that applies to both genders, but is also a generic term referring to all who serve in the Air Force, such as soldier, marine, or sailor.

I don't think my congressman would care, but perhaps I could approach my US Senator who seems to be struggling for a lifeline in his re-election campaign.
