Just refer to them as Drill, NOT Drill Sergeant.
And say Sir/Ma'am yes or no Sir/Ma'am.
Let them know that officers work for a living too, they just make more money & are more important. They will surely love you for that.

During a smoke session at AIT, a young 18-year old soldier in the class ahead of us told the senior DS, "You can't smoke a rock, drill sergeant!" The DS thought this was funny. So funny, in fact, he assigned the kid a new PT battle buddy...a 15 pound rock. They didn't let him run with the rock, but for every PT and smoke session, he rocked out with his battle. Maxed his PT test every time, too!!

Simply being in his platoon was enough for that, if I remember correctly.

I was asked to sing cadence just once in A.I.T. I was in a mixed formation with a female drill. So in a "thunderous voice" I sang "I know a girl who lives in France honey honey. I know a girl who lives in France babe babe. I know a girl who lives in France, she got a Mohawk in her pants. Honey oh baby oh my!" I shocked her so bad that my drill sergeant tripped when her feet hit the curb and she feel down in front of all of us.
