Marines are different animals from the rest of the mil. When I was in the Army you'd get your **** jumped into if you called a 1Sgt or Sgm "sergeant"....Sgts,SSGs and SFCs didn't seem to mind most of the time.

I would think they have much more important **** to worry about than what rank people call them by.
What baffles me is how the regular Air Force calls ******* everybody sir or ma'am. Why an NCO would want to be called sir all the goddamn time is beyond me.

You will get your **** jumped in the army if you call a first sergeant or a sergeant major "sergeant". All other NCO are supposed to be addressed as "sergeant"

I rarely if ever use "uhh" anymore, it's been replaced with the proper Naval terminology "******.. fuckinn... ohh what's his ****** name"
Occasionally I'll spit out a "what the ****, over"
The pull chocks hand signal and brakes on (stop) are pretty useful in a bar though.

Pretty lame, those are the kinds of guys that feel their dick grow when someone refers to their higher rank.
We have better things to concern ourselves with outside what some people would rather be addressed as. You dont see officers complaining about this, we are all addresed as sir/ma'am no matter if you are a LT or a General so i guess their promotions dont mean **** either.

the chevron point up is a symbol for male power, the more of them you the more power you have...
FYI Generals are supposed to addressed as General Sir, or General Ma'am
