[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Senior members of the military often times use last names only when they are addressing lower ranking individuals. It is a demonstration of rank and authority because that degree of familiarity is not reciprocal between ranks. In the civilian workplace it is a tacky affectation used by people feigning military experience and discipline. [/quote] I don't think civilians are trying to feign military experience or discipline. That's a very presumptuous view you have there. -- A military spouse[/quote]
