Not transgender and not OP, but current Army. In Army Basic recruits are very rarely referred to by a gendered pronoun. Other than battle buddy rules (must be same gender) and sleeping arrangements (gender-segregated, obviously) you aren’t a guy or a girl, you aren’t black or white or anything else, you’re a private and referred to as such, even in the third person.

No idea, sorry. I would imagine that as long as Private A and Private B have the same gender on their official paperwork, it’s good to go, but that’s a great question for someone in TRADOC.

Makes sense. Thanks for the updates. As an NCO this thread is full of helpful info. Sure, regs are regs, but the human side is by far the more important part of being a leader.

Thank you! I try. Hopefully I succeed from time to time!
