Default Re: Is Calling Someone Their Last Name Disrespectful?

It's standard practice in the military, and I know when I left the Navy 4 years ago they still did not like anyone called by their first name in the "work" environment. It was always rank followed by lastname.

Most of the guys I work with now are ex-Navy and to some degree this still happens out of habit.
