[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3927073, member: 5412"] Yes. When going through basic in the Army, you addressed them YES! DRILL SARGEANT, or NO! DRILL SARGEANT in a very loud voice during the early 70's when entering active duty. Later when joining the local 95th Training Unit, as a Drill Sargeant with summer camps at Lawton and Ft Leanord Wood Mo, it was the same. If one of the trainees addressed me as Sir, He got me in his face asking loudly if he saw any stars or bars on my collar. When getting the correct response of NO, he was informed I was an NCO, the person that actually made the Army run. Then they got to do a few pushups. After the first day or two, the rest got the message. Never was in the Marine Corps. My only basic training knowledge of their responses was from movies. [/QUOTE]
