Also worked with the first female F-111D crew chief, and one of the first (possibly THE first) female Master Sergeants in the Air Force. And at the time when the law that made a commissioned officer automatically be addressed as Sir was changed to allow Ma'am for the increasingly more common non-medical female officers. Mostly on the southern portion of the US. IIRC, the northern most place I was stationed that wasn't for a technical school was Las Vegas, NV. Or perhaps Sumter, SC. Sir and Ma'am were automatic because the USAF just strongly reinforced what my mom taught me. In Southern California. <img src="/images/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
