With no rational and consistent decision making or communication, we are left wondering what is happening behind the curtains.

![What is the etiquette of a civilian addressing a naval commander.
A civilian addressing a naval commander should use the formal title "Commander" followed by the officer's last name or simply address them as "Commander". [1] (https://emilypost.com/advice/military-titles)
Verbal Address
Spoken Title: Say "Commander [Last Name]" or just "Commander" during conversation.
Respectful Tone: Use polite and clear language. Civilians do not need to use military responses like "Aye, aye".
First Names: Never use a commander's first name unless they explicitly invite you to do so.

Salutes and Posture
No Saluting: Civilians do not render hand salutes to military officers. Salutes are strictly a military courtesy.
No Attention Required: Civilians are not required to stand at attention when a commander enters a room, though standing up to greet someone is a standard sign of polite civilian manners.
