Does "serviceman" mean "repairman" in this context? It also seems to be the only sentence with the word "serviceman" owned by a native English speaker on Tatoeba. I was actually looking for a good example demonstrating the "army personnel" meaning of this word.

Yes, if none of the native speakers steps in, then I'm going to add a "serviceman" example sentence from one of the public domain sources myself.

But this has some implications, because the sentences added by non-native speakers are treated as second class citizens. I would still need to post a comment to request a review. Also does Tatoeba support searching for sentences, which are "Owned by a self-identified native OR owned by anyone but approved by a self-identified native"?
