More specifically, in order to avoid exasperated sighs and rolled eyeballs as well as being told to go research it somewhere else I will restate what it is I am interested in learning:

When YOU, QP, as a junior member of the team, screwed something up and were being admonished for your infraction, did you answer:

Yes or No or Roger That, Sergeant (with or without last name)

or

Yes or No or Roger That, (team sergeant's nickname or first name)

I have been led to believe that nicknames and first names are the norm for day to day conversation between team members but I have found very little information about junior team member (read: New Guy) to team sergeant communication.
Your Senior will probably light you up, unless you really screwed the pooch... if a first infraction is severe enough that TOP is verbally berating you, your Senior will be standing right next to you during the CAS attack from the TM Daddy, because that Senior did not do his job in training you for your role on that particular Team.

In 99.99% of the cases, TOP will win.
