Just curious as to the proper way in addressing someone with the rank of NC1? Might be an obvious question, but I just need the correct answer. Thanks

Thanks that is interesting, I get it now...i.e. it would be like him saying AFSC XYZ.
Jcleppe,
I get your point, but this would be a cadet/mid, so theoretically, at least for AFROTC they would still be Sir/Mam. This is where the OP is at, they are below them in rank, thus, Sir would be proper.
Maybe, I am wrong, maybe that is an AFROTC cadet thing, but that is what DS called his NCOIC, which was a SSGT.
Been a long time since I have been in my Midshipmen summer whites, but we never addressed enlisted sailors or Marines as Sir or Ma'am. For sailors we addressed them as Seaman/Fireman/Etc, Petty Officer, or Chief or with their rating and rank such as NC1 (said as "N", "C", 1) with their name on the end (So NC1 Jones for instance). For Marines it was always by their approriate rank. Staff Sergeant or above is never just a Sergeant, but full rank.
NEVER Sir... every first class petty officer that I ever knew said don't call me sir, I work for a living... Lol.Either Sir or Petty Officer....
don't call me sir, I work for a living
I think you're right I think they do teach it...lol.Ha Ha! They must teach that in NCO school or something. It seems to be universal across the branches. I always got a kick out of it!
So who would I speak to about being singled out and called MRS after everyone is saying its nothing they can do?So have things changed,
When I was in the service if anyone called a Petty Officer, or any NCO, "Sir" they had a real large part of their rear end chewed off.
Bull, your correct about the NCO Rates, BM1, QM2, SK3,,,and so on.
