In the new book I'm working on I have an exchange between two military officers, a captain and a colonel, and I'm not entirely sure how they would address each other. Am I correct in assuming that the colonel refers to the captain as captain,and the captain addresses the colonel as sir, or alternatively as colonel especially when greeting?
While on the subject I might as well ask how the same exchange might sound between lower ranks such as a private and a sergeant, does it work the same way?
It's a rather minor detail in the book but I'd prefer to get it right if I can and know there's a number of people who have served around here. I've been in the military in my own country but things don't always work the same way and a Google search didn't really provide a clear answer so I thought I'd stop by here to ask.
Thanks in advance.
