Rank References
• For Officers, full rank is used as a title only in addressing letters and in formal
introductions
– One writes to Major General Sarah Miller, U.S. Army
– Introduces her as Major General Miller
– In greetings the full rank is shortened to General: "Dear General Miller”
– 2LTs are “Lieutenants” and “LT Commanders” are “Commanders”
– Pilots have callsigns “Mad Dog”, but formal written/spoken title is best “Captain Smith”
• For Enlisted members, similar honor is given
– Sergeants -- whether staff sergeants, gunnery sergeants, or first sergeants -- are greeted
simply as "Sergeant“
– Chief petty officers or Chief Master Sergeants are referred to as "Chief.“
– Other noncommissioned officers are greeted by their ranks
– Informally, lower grades may be referred to generically as "Soldier" or "Sailor."
• The universal terms of respect that lower ranks must use when addressing senior
officers are "Sir" and "Madam.”

14
Military Duty Day
• Military personnel are considered to be on duty 24 hours
– They are given time during the normal “duty day” to
handle both professional and personal appointments
– Physical Training (PT), training, sick call, appointments
– Other time activities to consider include: Holidays (3-4 day
weekends), Passes, 59-minute rule (DoD civilians)
– Military must spend leave when on weekend vacations
other than holidays: Thurs-Sunday = 4 days spent

15
Military Time Orientation
Military time operates on a 24 hour time system.
For example, 0100 to 2400 hrs, or:
0700 hrs = 7:00 AM
1900 hrs = 7:00 PM
Dates are typically written in “dd mmm yy” format: 21 Apr 05
Most combat systems use a Julian Date format called Zulu
time (or Universal Time Coordinated – UTC):
3:35 AM EST = 9:35 AM at Greenwich, England = 0935Z
Pilots or weather users add the day of the month to the front:
June 05, 3:35 AM in DC = 050935Z JUN 05

How to work effectively while on DoD
assignments
• Know the mission and vision of the organization
• Understand the client’s Chain of Command
• Familiarize yourself with the ranks of each service
• Consider continuity challenges due to staff changes
– Deployments
– Permanent Change of Station (PCS), reassignments
– Retirements
– Temporary Duty (TDY)
– Continuity - Military personnel are likely to be
reassigned after 3-4 years
