When not in uniform a captain or lieutenant would be introduced as “of the Navy” to distinguish the grade from the other services. 2. When addressing an officer whose grade includes a modifier (i.e., lieutenant commander) the modifier may be dropped. 3. A suggested form of introduction is: “This is LCDR Smith , Mr. (Mrs., Miss, Ms.) Smith is now stationed here.” This indicates both (a) the officer’s     grade and (b) the form of address. 4. If a senior officer of the Medical or Dental Corps prefers to be addressed by title, such preference should be honored. 5. Prefixed by “Senior” or “Master” as appropriate. Figure 7-1.-Introducing and addressing naval personnel. Military   and   civilian   practices   differ   in   the introduction and address of enlisted personnel. Under military   conditions,   address   and   introduce   petty officers of the Navy by their respective title followed by  their  last  name.  Address  petty  officers  in  the paygrades   of   E-7,   E-8,   and   E-9   informally    as “Chief______”   prefixed   by   “Senior”   or   “Master,”   if appropriate. Introduce them formally as “Chief Petty Officer __________” prefixed by “Senior” or  “Master,”  if  appropriate.  Introduce  and  address petty  officers  in  paygrades  E-4  through  E-6  both formally and informally as “Petty Officer _____________.”  You  aren’t  required  to  change  the form of verbal address (by last name) of personnel in paygrades E-3 and below. However, when introducing    them,    precede    their    last    name    by “Seaman,” “Fireman,” “Airman,” “ Constructionman,” and so forth, as appropriate. 7-6
