Jack- In watching JAG over the last few years, these lawyer types address
Petty
Officers as Petty Officer "So and So". I had a "Crow" on my sleeve for 2
years and was never addressed as Petty Officer, nor did I ever hear anyone
else called a Petty Officer. BRBR

Yep, it was 'Petty Officer Smith', not Smith...the new PC Navy. I neevr thought
I was being sligjhted when somebody called me "Mister' instead of 'Lieutenant'
or 'LIeutenant Commander'..

When I was in my first squadron(VF-33-1975), troops(E-1 thru 6) went by their
last name...not so in my last squadron(VF-126 1990-2).
