Ma'am

"Ma'am," Chief Broadhurst said.
Ma'am it still sounded strange to the ears of Lieutenant Llewellyn. The Chief Petty Officer had served for nearly thirty years and yet had to call her ma'am. She pushed herself up from the Harrier and climbed down on to the deck.
"Thank you Chief."
"Your welcome. Are you all right ma'am?"
"First night landing."
They walked across the deck to the control tower. Llewellyn knew that Commander Air would be their waiting for her. She was sure he'd find some small fault with her landing.
