You can address the CO as "Sir" or "Ma'am" as the case may be, but you can also address them by rank, or rank/name (e.g., Good Morning Captain/Colonel/Colonel Smith/Captain Jones, etc.).

In the Navy, the CO of a unit, regardless of rank, is typically addressed as "Captain", a reference to the Officer's CO status rather than rank. This is more formal when the Officer is a Junior Officer but the CO; JO's are typically addressed as "Mister" or "Ms", but their status as CO of a unit requires that the Officer be addressed more formally.

How do you say yes in the navy?

The Navy has developed a whole language of its own over the centuries. Typically someone that has been given an order will respond with Aye, Sir! or Aye Aye, Sir! The single Aye is normally used with a repeated order, such as "Aye, Sir! Coming to heading 240, Sir!" where is Aye aye is used independent of anything else. A commanding officer, and only the commanding officer, can reply, Wilco! Which is short for "Will Comply."

Can a Military Commanding Officer stop a Court Order for payment from Wages to ex spouse?

No. Commanding Officer or not, they don't have authority over the civilian courts, and would be better to just cope - trying to stiff one's ex- against a court order won't look good to those who determine the future of that officer's career.


How do you name the The Warrant Officer who is responsible before the commanding officer for head counts and giving permits and the like?

Warrant Officers are not responsible for troops or personnel. But, in referring to a Warrant Officer, face to face you would address him as "Sir" as any other officer. If you work with him or are more familiar, he may permit you to refer to him as "Chief." If referring to a Warrant Officer in a conversation with a third party, you would refer to him as "Warrant Officer __________."


How do you get a marine to stay away from a minor?

The main thing that needs to happen is to have the Marine reported to his or her commanding officer. If you have no idea who that is or know how to report to his commanding officer it would be good to call the base where the Marine is assigned. The military police can handle the matter. If you cannot reach the base MP or the General in charge of the base then call the police. They can handle the matter with the Marines.

What higher rank can demote a sergeant?

Any military demotion would have to be accomplished through an administrative disciplinary action or a courts martial. These are under the purview of the command the individual is attached to. The unit commanding officer or his designee could perform these actions, and as for rank, a commanding officer could be almost any officer rank, depending on the type of unit. This, of course, is only in the case of a E-5 or E-6. An E-7 or higher would require a brigade level or higher Courts Marshall.

Who was James t kirk's commanding officer?

If you mean commanding officer as in James T. Kirk's superior, it would have been Captain Christopher Pike. If you mean Kirk's second in command (first officer), it would have been Spock.In the 2009 movie Star Trek, Captain Christopher Pike made Spock acting captain and James T. Kirk the acting first officer before he (Pike) was taken captive by the Romulans. Later in the film, Kirk provokes Spock to attack him, which soon after Spock is forced to relinquish his command due to being emotionally compromised. Kirk then assumes the role of captain, and Spock becomes his first officer.In the sequel Star Trek Into Darkness, Kirk is demoted for violating the Prime Directive and (now Admiral) Pike becomes commanding officer of the USS Enterprise. He then takes in Kirk and makes him first officer. Kirk later regains the role of captain after Admiral Pike was assassinated.


Do you say In the reply or for the reply to Anne?

Both are terms, but for different aspects of a reply. You would decide what form and language to use "for the reply to Anne." If you were describing the contents of the reply, not the form, you would say that a word or phrase was "in the reply to Anne."
