Sergeant Shawn Standford of Avalanche Company (Company
A, 2nd Battalion, 103rd Armor, Pennsylvania Army National Guard) writes
about a one SPC (that short for “Specialist”) Schwarz, a.k.a. “Skippy”
and his list of things that he is no longer allowed to do — presumably, after having done them and being disciplined.

If I ever have to assemble a crack team of misfits and goofballs whose mission is to save the world, Skippy’s on my list.
That TikTok wellness influencer is so close to getting it.

Joey, my dear, why are you assuming that the original Skippy was male? When I read the first back in 2002 it was obviously written by a woman.
I assumed "he" because the author of the blog entry I pointed said "he". Mind you, the author could be wrong.
My curiosity is piqued now: what cues in the writing make it obvious to you that Specialist Skippy is a woman?
