Well this is going to probably happen because the powers that be say so.

Am I the only person out there who thinks this is the biggest waste of time and money?

Complete waste of time.should be worrying about how to fight terrorism instead of pandering to certain groups or individuals.shouldn't be worrying about being politically correct.

I will apologize if I offend anyone right up front however, I was brought up the ole school way in which the quote, "the military is not a democracy"...this is another example of the hyper-sensitive society that we live in that allows for our traditions and customs to be lowered to meaningless quandrums because someone may or may not be offended! I came in the Navy with the very clear understanding I was training and will be trained, regardless of my rate to kill or strongly oppose those who dared to contradict my countries freedoms and liberties that many men and women in uniform have paid the ultimate price with their lives! I love my country and my Navy but I do not like what "SHE" has become! When these individuals that are perceived to be offended by the word "man" or "woman" in time of actual war where they consciencely know theirs or their shipmates life may be lost will they perceive to be offended then...again I apologize but our focus of mission has been lost in the spiraling societal ideology from those who have and never will know what it means to serve our country!

No apology necessary Master Chief, it couldn't have been said more eloquently or truthfully. Unfortunately tradition goes to the waysides because this new profound love for everything politically correct. It will the the twenty first century war fighters achilles heel ,hurt feelings, may be what brings out Navy down not Imperial Japan or Nazi Germany.

Master Chief, I didn't see anything in your statement to be apologetic for.
That is the honest truth.
Those offended by the truth can STFU and quit being the problem and become the solution.

I am a retired Master Chief with 27 years of service. I must agree with the good Master Chief. Concentrate on what is important not what might be politically correct or socially acceptable.

Alright, so if this is going to happen, removing the portion "man" out of all rates, ratings and titles; are we going to redefine and rename the word wo"man" and hu"man"? This of course will require us to relabel all heads and latrines on ALL bases and government facilities. A bit asinine, but if you are going to do it you better go all of the way, wouldn't want to "OFFEND" anyone.......lol. I agree with the general consensus and believe that this a blatant waste of time for everyone involved!!

I say replace "...man" With bitch. So you can be a Petty Officer Second Class Radio Bitch. A AO would be a Aviation Ordnance Bitch. Then somebody might think about leaving well enough alone and worry about killing the enemy.
