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.

Yep and I was using it to describe everyone in the Air Force. Hey, we have to have something wrong with us. I will accept that the term Airmen isn't politically correct since we are perfect in every other way (I say we because I get a check every month )

Our hopes and prayers will go with you on your mission to right this terrible travesty.

Maybe we can make up a special blue ribbon sticker for our back bumpers to bring awareness to everybody about this problem.

Wait a minute. It's always been "blue for boys" and "pink for girls", hasn't it. Well, that sh!t has to stop too. It's one color for everybody from now on!! Be sure to bring that up with Senator Quagmire also.

I think we need to form a committee to discuss this subject. And don't forget to appoint a Madam Chairperson, whatever that means.

Sorry - I ran out of blue font.

Not that easy, Chief. I'm going to need some funds. If you're really supportive of the cause, you'll pony up.

I asked for a pony for Christmas once when I was a kid. But since we were poor, all I got was a chicken. Do you know how terrible it is to be laughed at by the neighborhood kids when they see you out in a wagon being pulled by a chicken? It didn't matter to me though; I still loved Reggie(my pet chicken).

Even today I'd go to my room and cry at the memory.....except there was a happy ending. Reggie was delicious.

Thanks for letting me share.

I think I shed a tear, but I'm not sure.
