Speaking of moving forward, I should get something up today. The last few days have been busy for me.
“Sir, no sir!”, Charlie Section resounded in unison, with a salute.

Ah shoot, should I have responded in a more casual way?

Naw it's fine. That's military ranks 101, though.
Observe: army.mod.uk/structure/32321.aspx
The Officers are the only ones you address as 'Sir'.
The Enlisted (see: Other Ranks section) are addressed by rank.
I have been quite busy, but let me know if anyone is waiting for me (if you please, this once).
Yes, technically. But out in the field, you shouldn't call attention to your commanding officer, NCO or higher.
