How do you address a master gunnery sergeant?

Answer 1

Verbal conversations are nearly always General, Colonel, or Lieutenant. Written communications almost always should be Major General, Lieutenant Colonel or 1st Lieutenant.

Answer

In the British Armed Forces, you never address an officer by rank alone. James Bond would never be addressed as "Commander", but as "Commander Bond". Subordinates would never address him by rank; they would simply call him "Sir", never "Commander".

Answer 2

You address a Staff Sergeant as "Staff Sergeant." All the Armed Forces have a distinct proper title for each rank; however the Marine Corps is unique in that the title "Sergeant" is only permissible for E-5s. Though the Army may use "Sergeant" or "Sarge" for any E-5 or above, this is considered to be extremely improper in the Marines. Below is the Marine Corps enlisted rank structure and proper forms of address. E-1 Private, E-2 Private 1st Class, E-3 Lance Corporal, E-4 Corporal, E-5 Sergeant, E-6 Staff Sergeant, E-7 Gunnery Sergeant (abbr. with permission as Gunny), E-8 1st Sergeant or Master Sergeant, E-9 Sergeant Major or Master Gunnery Sergeant (abbr. with permission as Master Guns) Based on career path, when a Marine becomes and E-8 he will either be made a 1st Sergeant or a Master Sergeant. Both are E-8s and receive the same pay but are assigned to distinct duties. The same applies to E-9s as well; 1st Sergeants become Sergeants Major and Master Sergeants become Master Gunnery Sergeants.
