| The last time I had to deal with an issue like this I was the person being addressed by thieir first name, and it is totally inappropriate. I have a group of friends from my Squadron and some of them hold a much lower position than me. Not only does that kind of behavior set poor standards, it is disrespectful towards the senior persons, the other recruits, and you (I'm assuming that she did not address you with respect when you talked to her about it).
I'd just correct it every single time you hear it. Chances are that the senior people will be grateful for it, or take over to avoid you correcting a cadet in front of them. I mean, cadets at my Squadron address us be rank at most social events if they are Squadron run, let alone exercises we wear civies to.
(just a side note for ouyin2000... Bloggins is such a Canadian forces name. But we're only allowed to use the name 10% of the time now because there is a Cpl Bloggins somewhere now.) |
