What is the most respectful way to adress a military officer when you are not sure of his/her rank? Most of the time you can use sir/ma'am (Good afternoon, sir, I'm calling about...) but there are times when that doesn't work, like when you need to talk about a specific person (I just got off the phone with Sr. Cheif Donald and he told me to... or ...Is Sr. Cheif Donald in his office?). I don't think using "Mr." is very appropriate when talking about an Officer and I've found myself in this situation multiple times.
