NO YOU CAN NOT ADDRESS A MASTER SERGEANT AS "SERGEANT"!
Yes you can do this in the Army but should you address a Master Sergeant in the Marines as a Sergeant or "Sarg" your going to hear some vocal cords at high volume in your face.

∙ 13y agoThere are four addresses for NCOs in the Army. Corporal, Sergeant, First Sergeant, & Sergeant Major. Addressing NCOs by rank, such as the uses of "Master Sergeant" as a form of address is not appropriate when speaking to the individual but may be used to further identify the individual to a third party.
Example: "The soldier standing by the truck is Master Sergeant Smith."
When addressing the individual, the address of Sergeant should be used.
Example: "Sergeant Smith, I would like to introduce you to Mr. Jones."

A First Sergeant or a Master Sergeant. Which rank they actually are depends on their job. The rank insignias are different.
