In 1966 Army Chief of Staff Harold K. Johnson chose Sergeant Major

William O. Wooldridge as the first Sergeart Major of the Army.

The plural form of "sergeant major" is "sergeants major."

The correct manner of address is "Sergeant Major," or "Sergeant Major Jones." (Unless, of course, her name is Smith.)

There are three ranks within the pay grade of E9 - Sergeant Major, Command Sergeant Major, and Sergeant Major of the Army. There is only one Sergeant Major of the Army.
