| I was Enlisted, you can call me whatever you like.
I address you, along with the other Officers by your Rank (if known) as merely a habit.
I usually don't start with the proper Rank name until the Rank of Captian (except for Navy) working all the way up through General. I call you Lieutenant because you're in the Navy, if you were still an Ensign, I'd just call you Sir.
Navy Rank of LTJG I just call Lieutenant, works out better that way, sort of like calling a Lieutenant Colonel a Colonel, and General, well, like Admiral that is all that is needed.
Army, Marine, and Air Force Lieutenants I just call Sir, either in person or like this online, as they are at the bottom of the totem pole, so, calling them Sir is, in my opinion, just the better choice, and works out better all around.
And I was just wondering about the USCG, as that would be a 3rd distinct separate service which uses Navy Uniforms. |
