Do you address a Chaplain as "Sir", respective rank, or by "Chaplain (last name)"?

A few people in my unit have been chastised for calling our Chaplain as "sir", instead of "Chaplain". They were told that as per the regulation (they don't say which one) a Chaplain is only to be addressed as "Chaplain". <BR><BR>I have looked through AR 600-25 and there is nothing in that regulation, except that you call an officer by either his/her rank and last name, or "Sir". I can't even find where it says that you are allowed to address him/her as "Chaplain". I know that it is done, but I can't find where it is okay by regulation. <BR><BR>Could someone please help me out with this? <BR><BR>Thank you in advance!

The one on the California should be thankful that I didn't call him four letter words being we were both of the same Faith, If I had my way we would have called him oscar (Name of the Man Overboard Dummy). My 3 favorites were 2 O-6 Rabbis (Captains) I called them Rabbi and our Black Methodist Minister on the Arkansas great guy he was an O-3 (Lt) but I called him Chaplain. No I never called a Chaplain by their Rank in 21 years.
