Since the Air Force was established in 1947, all of the various ranks of "airman" have always included women, and in this context, the word "man" means "human being".

On the other hand, an enlistee could be promoted to the rank of Airman immediately after completing Air Force basic training (and thus paid somewhat more) given one of several additional qualifications: </p> <ul><li>Having completed at least two years of a <a href="/wiki/Junior_Reserve_Officers%27_Training_Corps" title="Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps">Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps</a> (Junior ROTC) while in <a href="/wiki/High_school" class="mw-redirect" title="High school">high school</a>.</li> <li>Having achieved the <a href="/wiki/Eagle_Scout_(Boy_Scouts_of_America)" class="mw-redirect" title="Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of America)">Eagle Scout</a> rank from the <a href="/wiki/Boy_Scouts_of_America" class="mw-redirect" title="Boy Scouts of America">Boy Scouts of America</a>, or the <a href="/wiki/Gold_Award_(Girl_Scouts_of_the_USA)" title="Gold Award (Girl Scouts of the USA)">Gold Award</a> from the <a href="/wiki/Girl_Scouts_of_the_United_States_of_America" class="mw-redirect" title="Girl Scouts of the United States of America">Girl Scouts of the United States of America</a>.</li> <li>Having earned 20 college semester credit hours (30 quarter hours).</li></ul> <p>Those enlistees who have qualified for these early promotions to the rank of Airman are allowed to wear their single airman insignia stripe during the Air Force basic training graduation ceremony at <a href="/wiki/Lackland_Air_Force_Base" title="Lackland Air Force Base">Lackland Air Force Base</a> in <a href="/wiki/San_Antonio,_Texas" class="mw-redirect" title="San Antonio, Texas">San Antonio, Texas</a>. They also receive a retroactive pay increment that brings them up to the pay grade for an Airman upon their completion of basic training. (Thus, it is as if they have enlisted as Airmen on the first day, as far as their pay is concerned. However, if they do not complete basic training and are discharged, they do not receive the extra pay.) </p><p>While at the rank of Airman, the duties of enlisted personnel include adjusting to the Air Force way of military life and becoming proficient in their Air Force duty specialties. Note that upon leaving basic training, all Airmen enter a period of many weeks or many months of training at Air Force schools in their duty specialties that they and the Air Force have selected for them depending on their aptitudes and interests, and the needs of the Air Force. For Airmen with high aptitudes, some of these training programs include more than one school and take a year or more to complete. </p><p>Airmen are often nicknamed “<a href="/wiki/Mosquito" title="Mosquito">mosquito</a> wings" due to the insignia's resemblance to a mosquito's small wings. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Navy">Navy</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Airman&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Navy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_United_States_Navy_enlisted_rates" title="List of United States Navy enlisted rates">List of United States Navy enlisted rates</a></div> <p>In the <a href="/wiki/U.S._Navy" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Navy">U.S. Navy</a>, Airman is the enlisted rank that corresponds to the pay grade of E-3 in the Navy's aviation field, but it is just below the rank of <a href="/wiki/Petty_Officer_Third_Class" class="mw-redirect" title="Petty Officer Third Class">Petty Officer Third Class</a>, pay grade E-4.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>Note 2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Coast_Guard">Coast Guard</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Airman&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Coast Guard"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the <a href="/wiki/U.S._Coast_Guard" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Coast Guard">U.S. Coast Guard</a>, the ranks are very similar or identical to the ones in the U.S. Navy, and a Coast Guard airman is identical in rank and pay to an Airman in the Navy.
