I have a retired Sgt Major here who insists on every former military person, regardless of rank at separation/retirement address him as such. He's the Maintenance Dept supervisor.
I did a similar thing to what Albie does. I'll call you Sgt Major when you start calling me Lieutenant Commander/Sir. "BUT I'M A SGT MAJOR". "Then you should have no problems following the order of a Commissioned Officer" and I walked out of the office.
Put a stop to that crap real quick.

The preffered manner of address is "Dude" or "Master's Real First Name".
Some people found out (from my wife) what my callsign was, so I get called that a lot. "Master Bates please come to the control room" on the PA system.

I think it should go without saying, but a person who insists on being called 'Captain' because that was their job title at an airline/civilian flight department and not because they were a mil O-3 deserves far more 'Tool Points'.
