I am planning on contacting a recruiter within the next few days to see about enlisting in the USMC. What is the proper way to address a recruiter? Should he be addressed as "Sir" or by his rank (such as "Sergeant Smith") or both? Thank you for your help.

"Where do I sign?"

By his rank and last name. Like Sergeant Cruz or Staff Sergeant Kinsey.

Thanks! Is this the case even when he asks you a yes/no question for example, would you reply with "Yes, Sgt. Smith" instead of "Yes, sir"?

If you call a recruiter out of the blue and tell him you want to enlist, I doubt they'll care what you call them until you're signing the paperwork.
