#5 She should have settled for "Ma'am". "Ma'am" is always a term of respect in the military... "Senator" not so much.

#7 It's 'sir' or 'ma'am' to your superiors. Your Inferiors are addressed by their rank.
(How's that for snark, TW?)

#8 Oooh, Sgt. Mom, ma'am, you're good. I fully intend to make use of that tidbit somehow.

#10 Your Inferiors are addressed by their rank.

And for a subtle and personal "screw you", address a superior by their rank.

#11 Oh dear! Sgt. Mom, I truly meant to be respectful, really I did!!

#12 Wait a minute: what about equals?

Posted by trailing wife 2010-10-24 20:25|| 2010-10-24 20:25|| Front Page Top

#13 Usually by name. Or in the case of Rantburg, "nym".

#14 And for a subtle and personal "screw you", address a superior only by their rank.

Corrected.

#15 TW - definitely equal - in experience of the world, and in skill in applying the shiv while still appearing to be a lady. I bow to the expert!
