Hey all,
I am currently applying this year and recently finished my advisory committee interview in which they provided some tips for the real interviews. I felt that they were nit picking a little bit and said that I replied with "yes,sir" too much. Now I am really baffled by this honestly, as I always reply with a "yes,sir" and "yes,ma'am" in everyday life. I showed my personality and wasn't completely rigid the whole time, but the one professor was saying he got sick of me saying "yes,sir" in response. Is there something I am missing or should I continue addressing people that are higher in chain of command with the appropriate response? One of those civilian/military blurred lines I guess..
