Typically e5-e7 are just called sergeant, e8 and higher you typically say master, 1st sgt, or sergeant major

That’s army, marines you can also say gunny which is an e7

In Air Force you can say master, chief, senior chief etc.

The reason being is that these are all senior nco’s

I believe in the Air Force they would be referred to as Steve, Bob, John etc. depending on their first name.

It was pretty common for us to address each other by our first or last name unless it was a formal setting i.e briefing or other services/teams there.
