Having been a ground pounder, then an aircrewman during the 1980s, my
experience with the term is limited. As jet mechs, we called the "pretty boys" in flight suits that never had to stand a watch or get dirty by the negative term "fly boys". Later, when it was my time in the flightsuit, periodically I would be approached by women that used the term with much greater affection and appreciation. I think that the term can be used like almost every other term, either positively or negatively. v/r Gordon ====(A+C==== USN SAR Donate your memories - write a note on the back and send those old photos to a reputable museum, don't take them with you when you're gone. |
