Fortunately for Specialist Nerys, she wasn't the only one to make the mistake of calling the woman a Sir, and the following Tirade was directed at the whole room. "Do I look like Sir to you? I am Sergeant Major Nguyen, and you will refer to me and all other female non-commissioned officers as Ma'am, is that clear." There was a round of confused "Ma'am"s "Yes Ma'am"s, and "Ma'am Yes Ma'am"s<br/><br/>Sergeant Major Nguyen scowled at the group "It's not hard! Just like Gunny teach you, only Ma'am instead of sir. First word Ma'am, then whatever your lousy mouth has to say, and then Ma'am once more. Try Again, All Together!"<br/>The second time things were more consistent, but the sounds of each cadet's voice were offset by as much as three whole seconds from the first to the last Ma'am. "You all sound pathetic. I should keep you in here until you shape up, But I have to get you back to Barracks before dark." Nyugen explained before finaly bringing the room to Parade rest. "You waste enough of my time already! Get your things and form up outside. DISMISSED!"
