  1. I'm generally laid back, since I rarely hear my first name at work - I'm in the Army.

I have/had a closer bond with my Scoutmasters that I called by their first names, than with those I interacted with in a more formal manner. What's the crowd say?

  6. I’m a first name guy. Period. But, that’s not the culture I live in. So, if scouts are compelled to address me as Mr. Q., I try to address them as Mr./Miss. My problem at the moment is our troop is chock full of siblings, so I’m using first names more regularly.
