Are you in the military?
If not, call him by his first name, or Mr. whatever. |

I always called my retired colonel boss, 'Colonel.' Not because I had to, but because it was respectful.
If he'd retired a lieutenant, I'd have called him 'Lieutenant Dan.' |

Dig deeper. was he diciplined down to that rank or was he promoted from enlisted to officer late in his career.
The first is a DQ the second is respectful depending on how and why he got promoted...(served honorably from seaman to CPO to Lieutenant.) |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
nobody retires as an O-3 unless its a medical, probally was QMP'd because he didn't make O-4 in time It is very possible to retire as an 03 especially these days since promotions have slowed down again. The requirement to retire as a commissioned officer if you were enlisted previously is at least 10 years commissioned service. In the naval services you normally pin on 04 around the 10-11 years of commissioned service mark. If someone decides he wants to retire as soon as eligible, and not serve the obligatory 3 years an O4,O5, and O6 serves after promotion they can decide to retire at the end of their 10th year of commissioned as long as they have 20 years of combined service. |

I missed that well in written form Michael Johnson (USN-RET) / example of name / on the phone you could you mention Sir alot ( but on phone you'd be wingin it anyways) you got any relatives that were, are in, that you can ramble on about ( not much harpin he has to know his accomplishments are better ) I never had that problem, the only two I ever ran into that had a higher rank, were desk jocks in the Military as well and, only through buzz words & locals at me like they was @ a Hollywood Screen Test

until a retiree gets to O-6, they are just Mr. to me, Headhunter? Mr. or first name, after all he gets paid by the hiring company, so get noticed with your resume and record of accomplishments, not by your salutatory greeting.

I was in the military. My dad is a retired military officer.
I feel zero need to call any retired military person by their rank. If they don't like it, they can get over it.. or start calling me Mr dskeet when they address me
