As I said. It depends on the circumstance. There are very restricted sets of circumstances where all midshipmen are "sirs", and I'm not talking about within their battalions. I'll find out more about them this summer. Also, all 1/C midshipmen rate officers' courtesies, though enlisted don't always follow this convention and only the toolishest of the tools will correct them.
I have never been addressed as "mister" by anyone.
