Main Post:
I was always confused about how a sergeant major ( CSM) is same title wherever CSM works at Battalion, Brigade, Division, and Field army.
Officers have where generally a LTC works at battalion, COL at a brigade, and a 2- Star at Division. And get paid more with more responsibility.
Why would a CSM be interested in advancing there career after battalion if they're going to be paid the same ?
And how does army get away with paying a CSM same money wherever its at battalion level or feild army level ?
( I only been in Army for 8 months TIS so I am " dumb private " )

Calling an E-7 sir?
Main Post:
My son asked me this question, and I want to make sure I gave him the right answer.
It's been about 20 years since I served, so maybe the rules have changed.
My son is an E-3 in U.S. Air Force.
He said that an E-7 in his shop insists that all junior enlisted call him "Sir."
For example, if an E-3 says "Yes," to the E-7, the E-7 will get in the kid's face and make him say "Yes, Sir."
I always thought that enlisted people only refer to officers as Sir or Ma'am.
But you referred to senior enlisted by their rank.
BTW - this is a throwaway account - I don't want anyone to figure out where my son is stationed.
Top Comment: In the air force, we call just about everybody sir/ma'am as a general courtesy. I've never seen a MSgt demand to be called Sir outside of BMT though. That guy just kinda sounds like a dick.
It's DFAC. No E. No T at the end. Just DFAC.

Pronounced "dee-fack", for those who need the help.
Holy fuck you guys make me wonder how many ASVAB waivers they give out.
I'll take my DFAC order to-go, please.
