How are senior non-commissioned officers treated by commissioned officers?

Junior officers do outrank them, but they respect the senior staff nco's for their leadership and knowledge. Most lieutenants don't know their *ss from a hole in the ground when they get out of school. Its up to the enlisted to take them under their wing and teach them the things they need to know. Its kind of a win win situation for everyone, if the officer respects the enlisted, they teach him to be a great officer, and the enlisted benefit by having a competent leader who'll stand up for them and fight alongside them.
